I'd really like to see someone taboo or at least write out what they mean with this 2-nary purpose. It surely got me confused before, and especially now after the op clarified my thoughts, it feels like a completely meaningless and incoherent utterance.
Can you give any other examples where purpose is used this way in common language with intended 2-nary meaning* except "the ultimate purpose"?
*edited, sorry for the confusing wording
Actually, "the ultimate purpose" seems double-confused, lacking both the object and the optimization process :)
If the object is "life", I can't tell if it is supposed to mean life-in-general, or my life, or all our lives.
