Please see the title of this post. In the following quotations, what changes — if anything — if you replace "any, some[,] or all" with just "any"? Don't these authors need just "any"?
I deliberately picked books written by linguists and philosophers, because their professions requires command of language, gift of gab, and eloquence — not verbosity or wordiness! I also quote books from computer science and math, because math requires logic and precision.
Linguistics and philosophy

The term paraphrase refers to ITS users' attempt to restate a given target sentence in their own words such that a produced sentence, or user response, has the same meaning as the target sentence. The challenge posed for researchers is to describe and assess their own approach (computational or statisti- cal) to evaluating, characterizing, and/or categorizing, any, some, or all of the paraphrase dimensions in this corpus. In Chapter 7, Amber Chauncey Strain and Lucille Booker discuss Amazon 's Mechanical Turk (MTurk) and its role in ANLP research.

The lawyers with whom I worked instructed me not to analyze the tapes in which Amari and Masloum appeared together or separately without El- Hindi, so I couldn't judge whether they produced genuinely incriminating utterances (but from all appearances, Masloum was considerably less likely). If Amawi was indeed guilty, there is a very good chance that his guilt contaminated the case against El-Hindi, since it is not unusual for all indicted defendants to be found guilty, even if only one of them was. When this happens, the problem lies at least partially in the legal system's own intelligence gathering, intelligence analysis, and trial procedures. So it is not possible to say for sure that the government located any, some, or all of the right suspects in this case, but, based on the undercover recordings, it is clear that El-Hindi provided no evidence of being guilty of anything with which he was charged. It is highly likely that the prosecution pursued only one hypothesis—that of guilt. This would suggest that the prosecutor's intelligence analysis was inadequate.

The borderline between literal and metaphorical is difficult to pinpoint with certainty however; arguments could be put forward for considering the third citation as either. At the extreme end of the scale from concrete to abstract, make takes objects such as way, difference, journey, effort, attempt and sense, and it becomes less easy to perceive this use as a metaphor- ical mapping of the "creation" sense. As is the case for prepositions, there is As is the case for prepositions, there is no simple answer to the question as to whether any, some or all non-concrete uses of delexical verbs should be considered to be metaphorical. It is a question that needs to be addressed in any research that attempts to identify metaphors consistently.

That conduct must have as one of its outcomes a private law wrong, the exact nature of the wrong necessary for liability being determined by the relevant substantive branches of private law, which also determine whether the defendant actually must be aware — or must simply be capable of being aware — of any, some or all of the outcomes of their conduct.

In addition to the two basic complete operations, MP I provides various complete operations that can be used to wait for the completion of any, some, or all the operations in a list, rather than having to wait for a specific message. The remaining point-to-point communications operations are aimed mainly at better optimisation of computer resources such as memory and processor cycles. MP1_Probe and MP1_1probe operations allow for incoming messages to be checked without actually receiving them. The user can then decide how to receive them, based on the information returned by the probe. In particu- lar, the user may allocate memory for the receive buffer according to the length of the probed message.

State
The fact that any, some, or all inputs can be "remembered" (that is, stored in internal data structures) means that we can't just get by with selecting an input without taking into account all the inputs that came before it. If we apply input a, and it changes the state of the application under test, then applying input a again cannot be said to be the same test. The application's state has changed, and the outcome of applying input a could be very different. State impacts whether an application fails every bit as much as input does. Apply an input in one state and everything is fine; apply that same input in another state and all bets are off.

Definition 3: message. m::= < n, v, l, p, f, αm, ßm, δ> where
n is the identification of the message including its sender (a role) and the host's address of its sender;
v is the receiver of the message ex- pressed by an identification of a role;
l is the pattern of a message, specify- ing the types, sequence and number of parameters;
p is a complex object taken as the pa- rameters with the message pattern l;
f is a flag that expresses any, some or all-message;

Errors in testing a hypothesis
As already mentioned, a hypothesis is an assumption that may prove to be either correct or incorrect. It is possible to arrive at an incorrect conclusion about a hypothesis for a variety of reasons. Incorrect conclusions about the validity of a hypothesis may be drawn if: • the study design selected is faulty; • the sampling procedure adopted is faulty; • the method of data collection is inaccurate; • the analysis is wrong; • the statistical procedures applied are inappropriate; or the conclusions drawn are incorrect.
Any, some or all of these aspects of the research process could be responsible for the inadvertent introduction of error in your study, making conclusions misleading. Hence, in the testing of a hypothesis there is always
