But now you just _asume_ you will drink the coffee. What if in the dark you
can not find the cup or you spill the coffee? There are lots of possibilities
possible in which you will not drink it (the nervegas will get to you before
the coffee does, you suffer from claustrophobia and panic, knokking over the
cup, you start to halusinate about TLG decreasing the JR-line[x], etc.)
It's not that I _don't_want_you to drink the coffee, it's just that everyone I
know thinks I'm too filosofical for my own good.
[x] Whoops, not off-topic, sorry
