Instead of citing {boQwI'}, I'd rather you cited the reference that it
links to, namely, HolQeD 13.1.
mayql qunenoS:
> <...to say that something is as X as something else, law' is used with

The comment in {boQwI'} summarises the rule given in HolQeD 13.1,
which says this:
<If the quality being discussed is the same for both A and B, that is,
if A and B are the same as far as Q goes, there are a number of
options... If the quality being discussed is a positive one, or if
having the quality is a positive attribute, another (similar)
construction may be used: A Q {law'} B Q {law'}.>
In what sense is the summary "flat-out wrong"?
