Not quite, I can describe a model in which integers are
all designed to look like null addresses by default. Sure
it is unlikely, which is why I used the word "likely" in
my description.
Likely is a semi-technical term for me in this context, it
means that in practice x is true even if x cannot be formally
deduced from the RM :-)
