I understand.

If you feel that lo broda === da poi broda, then the order of introduction
of lo broda makes an impact on the meaning. But what about le broda?

And, to confirm, in your opinion, these Lojban sentences are actually
identical in meaning?

Henry McCullers, an affable Plano, TX-area anti-Semite, praised the
Jewish people Monday for doing "a bang-up job" running the media.
"This has been such a great year for movies, and the new crop of fall
TV shows looks to be one of the best in years," McCullers said.
"And the cable news channels are doing a terrific job, too. Admittedly,
they're not reporting on the Jewish stranglehold on world finance,
but, hey, that's understandable."
