I feel like there's some language barrier here (possibly me being pedantic and too literal).

Did you mean to talk about *members* of the sets in question here?

What I was originally replying to is that ¬∀x.p(x) is not the same as ¬∃x.p(x). This is the conclusion you seem to have made given your reply here:

yes i was being sloppy but thought it would be clear from the context, sorry if that made you misunderstand me. as for what i pointed out, it's really not hard: if you disagree with the elements of a set, you also disagree with the elements of any subsets of the set, unlike what you stated.
