It's admitted a gloss, but I don't think I'm reading anything into the text here. Suppose I wrote "My friend Lenny and his fellow countrymen Bruce, and Squiggy are thirsty. I am therefore launching an operation called A Soda Pop for Lenny and his brothers." and then later wrote elsewhere, "This operation has been launched to make some people non-thirsty." Even though someone with only the second note might be mystified as to exactly who those "some people" might be, I don't think, given both writings, there would be any doubt as to exactly who those "some people" are: Lenny, Bruce, and Squiggy, although it isn't "explicit."  talk
