Only by extension.
Anyway, Chuck's argument falls apart because he chooses to ignore the meaning of the word "might" - according to one web dictionary it is "used to indicate possibility or probability". For the philosophy majors out there: the probability of something happening ranges from 0 to 1. Zero probability means something is statistically impossible, it will not happen. Example - the probability of Chuck touching the top of his kitchen counter without standing tippy-toe is zero.
So my original statement stands: saying some *might* enjoy something implies some *might not* enjoy it.
