Not required. The Boolean transform of nor [both this and that] which is equivalent to not[this and that] is [not-this or not-that]. But this is the inclusive OR, so it includes as a true case [not-this AND not-that]. But this readily transforms into not[this OR that] or neither this nor that, which was explicitly stated.
