That's not adequate when NAFL is being used in a technical sense to
comment on details in other systems.

NAFL or NAFL theories are not even not just a formal theories, not a
theories even as ones not formally axiomatized; not theories, as you

through for NAFL is like saying incompleteness doesn't go through for
my grandmother's diary.
