Subj: some inconsistencies?

In the 3rd message, the planetoid wyw is said equal
to a small object, and the planetoid zyz is said
equal to a medium or a large one.
The 1y1 has the 3 sizes.
This is totally consistent with the fact that
wyw is a subset of 1y1 and
zyz is a subset of 1y1 (message 5)
But why don't the TCs use the symbol "or"
in the 3rd message, to give the list of zyz and 1y1?
It could have been:
  GzyzPoBBBAAABojoBBBBBBBoPzyzG
Is it because the list is not exhaustive?
In that case, they could have used the symbol for subset.

And for the 1 sign, if it really means "big", why is it
used for each size of planets in 1y1?

I'm really puzzled!
