Yes I did, and I could have sworn I answered it but don't have time to scroll back right now to look. How about this - if I said "I saw a bunch of horses that were wild and free" would you question whether some of them were only wild and some were only free? Nope, you would know that that kind of phrased description applies to all.

And Eve sees both attributes in the TOTKOGAE in chapter 3. Those two attributes are repeated twice, once about all the trees, and another time when Eve is looking only at one. I don't see a way to read it that somehow one adjective phrase refers to some and one adjective phrase refers to others.

If your reasoning is correct, that would mean some were good for food but some weren't. And yet God told them all blanket "you can eat all of them except one". What on earth would God be doing creating some of them NOT good for food but yet telling them they can eat all of them? That's a God who feeds His kids rocks and tells them they are bread!

The phrase "dying you will die" is a known Hebrew idiom that implies judicial punishment, not inherent natural consequence.
