Subject: [ruby-core:57872] [ruby-trunk - Bug #9022] all? method in empty	array should return false


Issue #9022 has been updated by alexeymuranov (Alexey Muranov).


Since commenting on the other thread, i have leant that the proposed interpretation of the "for all" quantifier is apparently called "existential import" and apparently was a matter of debate in the 19th century (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllogism#Existential_import for example).

Backport: 1.9.3: UNKNOWN, 2.0.0: UNKNOWN


This is expected:

[].any?(&:whatever?)
# => false

But this is not the behavior which I expect:

[].all?(&:whatever?)
# => true


Do you agree with me?
