Can one see where he might be confused?
If the hands are parts of the batter
and the bat is also part of the batter,
then the hands are parts of the bat.
NO!
The hands are parts of the batter.
The bat is also part of the batter.
But, the hands are NOT parts of the bat.
Yes!
Some people can figure this out.
