The computers I'm considering as what Carroll called the "universe of
discourse" here are "all computers on which this naming scheme is being
used". Whether they are servers or home desktops or business desktops or
smartphones or wireless access points or televisions or coffeepots or
anything else is irrelevant.

(Although of course several of those are unlikely to have anyone looking
at the interface names directly in the first place, so they may also be
irrelevant to the discussion.)

That's a detail I don't think I knew about.
