Removing the scale-indicating element from second-group exclamatives makes them no longer deniable and makes them behave like third-group exclamatives.

Evidence (3)

Exclamatives, deniability, and answerhood — Deniability evidence and the three-way German classification

If the scale-indicating element is removed from the exclamative sentences of the second group, they can no longer be denied, thus behaving like exclamatives of group three.
