No, this is not Jorge-lo'e (= Kind = Mr.).  This is a different distinction:
is "lo'e cinfo" a reference to a singular abstract object, or is it a compact
way of specifying a complex quantification?  I speak for the first viewpoint,
And for the second, but they are both CLL-compatible.

That said, I still don't really understand And's viewpoint.
