Following the horses example, would you think the following wording
mandates where the horses should be?:

"In the stable, we keep all the horses".

(The difference is just the "all" word. I would be glad to add this single
word to my policy proposal if this is everything what is required for you
and others to understand it the same way I do).

Thanks.
