"Other people do some research on their own, but just as often rely only on their broker or on hunches. "Only a few always do their own research before investing"
why would this sentence not spur a sufficient and neccessary clause with the key words only and Always in the second sentence??

Hi @ahbuch,
I think that's because the "other people" is a subset of all of the people mentioned in the first sentence. It is not ALL people, only SOME people, so we're not able to use S/N. "Only a few" is likewise a small subset of all of the people. With S/N statements, we're talking about ALL the people.
