The contrary: No MFT means list only, no private dupe. Only this
Fundamental Truth is amended by some exceptions, on specific lists,
senders, or cases. Say BTS-lists, CC askers, obvious non-subscribers,
list robot slowness, replies to very old messages, and some such.
Requires a brain in the replier, unlike when there is a MFT.

Comme on... Nice troll tryout, Thomas. And some already began
feeding it with draft crypto RFC battle. But please don't forget you
might be read by some naive or less informed people actually believing
you talk true. That's not nice. ;-)
Bye! Alain.
