Unless I misunderstood what Pat originally said, which is now lost in the archive somewhere.... If a single subject stands in the same predicate relation to multiple objects (e.g., I have multiple children), the predicate/verb does not uniquely identify the object of the sentence. I can't swear to whether I'm right on this one, but I'm confident that that is what I meant by my (quoted) statement.
