There are many reasons to be dissatisfied with Todd's (2000) reply to Regan's and my recent Comment (Regan & Colyvan 2000), not least of which is that his reply does not advance the debate. Moreover, he has made the method of Todd and Burgman (1998) even more unclear. I will not dwell on the various shortcomings of Todd's replythey should be apparent to any careful reader. Instead, I focus on the most important matter raised by Todd: the issue of the appropriate intersection and union operators for the method and how this affects interpretation of the results.
