@Mrfunkedude Ah, your argument is close, but not quite sound!
The half-bee may be only half of an entire Bee - but the half-bee is its own entity, and it Wholly Be's.
It is the past-bee, was once Whole, that at the current moment in time must half not-be, since it is half Not Bee.
(Note: it is possible I need either more, or less, wine for this level of conversation. It's also not 3AM in a college dorm common room, so we're losing some ambience here)
