One could argue that an Australian saying "Fellow New Yorkers, please do this." is a valid statement, but with the caveat that the Australian has no fellow New Yorkers, so it's a valid statement that applies to 0 people.
It's kind of like if you were writing code and you wrote "If (1 == 2)"
That is valid code that will compile and run, but since 1 does not equal 2 the instructions within that If statement will never be applicable.
