    Possibly so.
    When they say the “first” I cannot tell if they mean the first one I mentioned or the first one they mentioned.
    Relative references in language is confusing!

      Technically, for referencing the previous parts there are “former” and “latter”, but you never know if it was not used intentionally or not.
