Your explanation so far has consisted of you simply stating a
different interpretation with absolutely no support in terms of
either (i) compliance with CLL (ii) compliance with past usage (iii)
better utility. (Those in order of importance).
There is a difference beteween "the whole" = "the largest
fraction" and "each fraction".
{piro} is "the whole" and it is not "each fraction".
The DeMorgan dual of "some fraction" is not "the largest fraction",
it is "each fraction". In other words, {naku pisu'o naku} is
"each fraction", not "the largest fraction".
"The whole", unlike "each fraction", is a singular term.
Singular terms are not affected by negation boundaries.
{naku piro naku} is {piro}. This is not just my saying
so, it is a property of singular terms and "the whole" is
a singular term. If you disagree, you have not explained why.
All of the above is fully compliant with CLL, is it not?
It is you who is going against CLL if you take {piro} as
"each fraction".
