    Yea I understand from context but the wording seems bad

    The current one is similar to “if he cared about money, a sequel would not be guaranteed”

      “All but guaranteed” doesn’t mean “not guaranteed”. It means it’s so close to being guaranteed that it may as well be guaranteed – it has everything but the formal guarantee.
