It is not that I understand clearly, but that I do not clearly understand. I think. (sound of head exploding)

Gee, and Bill Clinton was worried about leaving a legacy…

This is not a question that does not interest me, as you can see. I could say “is”, but then we would have to debate on what the definition of “is” is.

I think the opposite of “not” is a short pause of 13 milliseconds where it would have been inserted in a sentence or phrase but now is … not.

That’s a pretty tough one… since “not” has so many different ways it can be used, it doesn’t precisely have ONE SINGLE opposite. Since “not” is just a negative, I think the best approach is to simply say that the opposite of “not” is “not not,” thereby turning whatever initial negative you have into its positive opposite every time.
