I don't always agree with Wallace; but without more consideration, I see
no reason to question his view here that the Greek has no impersonal 2nd
ps.  I'm not sure about his claim that more uncertain parts of a text are
put in the 3 p; however, it should be noted that the MH TIS MENHi EN EMOI
is in a conditional clause [note the EAN] which has been called "Future
More Probable" though it in fact says nothing regarding the likelihood of
its occurence.
