  not necessarily. for example we say things like “the lion is the king of the jungle,” but that doesn’t mean there’s only one lion per jungle. sometimes we refer to an archetypal singular to convey something about every member of a group

  would it be possible to solve this problem by making different inks? or would any ink that doesn’t have this problem just inherently be non-permanent
