          Numeral alternative blocking datum.

          The alternatives of a numeral n include nearby numerals. If n contradicts m on precise reading, imprecise construal can't be compatible with m.

                  The asymmetry depends on conventionalized alternative sets.

                  Round numbers have "coarse" alternative sets. Non-round numbers have "fine" alternative sets that include round neighbors.

                        Conjunction blocking datum.

                        Conjunctions have conjuncts as alternatives. "A and B are P" entails "A is P" and "B is P". Non-maximal reading would fail to preserve these entailments.

                                These have homogeneity gaps but resist non-maximality. The numeral creates subdomain alternatives.

                                      Collective and cumulative predicates sometimes permit non-maximality even with conjunctions.

                                      This is an exception that inference preservation needs to handle.
