What the _heck_ are you on about with all this "extreme prejudice"
stuff?! Sounds like you've seen too many Gene Hackman thrillers.

Maybe you have a shadowy subconscious association of the word "given"
with something benevolent like a "gift", which by contrast makes the
direct phrase "at least one is a head" sound blunt and final, like
some assassin calmly plugging their victim with "at least one head"
shot! Crazy I know, but if you ask me so is this entire discussion.

Mind you, that's about the fourth theory I've put forward - You
demolish them, one after the other, with each reply! I feel like
that 19th C British PM Sir William Gladstone, about whom someone
said "Each time he thinks he's answered the Irish Question, the
Irish change the question!"
