For the record, when I defined 2 outside the context of 'S', I did specify a full language in which L(*) is a part of. I've just mentioned that language to you, so I don't know what you're talking about here.

"Worse" in what way?
It's a trivial observation that most of the times, we have to talk about two different languages. Don't you know that? Why "worse" then?

Not that I didn't let people know the language cGC is written in _multiple of times_ what does your question here have to do with the issue that odd(x) can't be expressed positively in L(0,<,*), which you have not acknowledged, or have not been able to acknowledge?
