 Re: as much ... as ...
Thanks X mode,
I agree that the sentence needs a comma. And there is no doubt that it can have the meaning you attribute to it. But can't it also mean: It was one and also the other.
He played the guitar, as did I. (and I did as well)
He played the guitar, as I played the piano. (two meanings: at the same time and also)
He was rude to you, as he was to me.
He was violent, as he was rude. |
