The use of "look at"
Sentence:
It is amazing that his first product does not look at all rudimentary.
Question:
I am confused about the use of "look at all rudimentary" here. Is it a special use of "look at"?
The phrase is being parsed incorrectly.
It's not an example of look at, but is as follows:
It is amazing that his first product does not look at all rudimentary.
Here, at all is an adverb, modifying the adjective rudimentary:
[Merriam-Webster]
: in any way or respect : to the least extent or degree : under any circumstances
// doesn't smoke at all
In other words, the sentence could be rephrased in the following way:
It is amazing that his first product does not look in any way rudimentary.
