Logically, this is tautological. I think you're saying that there don't seem to be many who are completely convinced that both (1) and (2) are untrue. I think that's right; both claims are somewhat plausible.
Curious: do people prefer "neither A nor B" or "neither of (A and B)"?
The problem is that "confident in" has an ambiguous negation. "not confident in A" is different than "confident in not-A".
Right, but the quoted text is consistent, so, if you grant me that "some" means >=0, my original statement would have been correct. Of course, "some" implies >0, which I missed.
