It opens the door to anything! You can say Mary was a virgin when Christ was born, and mean that she could have been, or maybe wasn't.

When I first started reading NT Wright I saw the same love of the "edge"; taking radical stands and giving radical interpretations, but giving yourself a back door by hedging your language. Why can't people just say what they mean?
