“At least + NOT ” ambiguity
Multi tool use
this sentences :
"The patient knows in advance what are the possible outcomes; without that knowledge quality cannot be measured (AT LEAST NOT from the patient perspective)."
is that mean that i can still measure quality by the patient perspective?
I assume that "at least" as negative meaning then there is "not" negative meaning again, so the part in bracket i can say :
"but you can (measure) form the patient perspective"
i need expert opinion...
i feel that im in a paradox
double-negation
