Uncertainties, possibilities and wishful thinking and grated cheese.
Ignoring uncertainties is essential day to day unless you are Nassim Nicholas Taleb (see his books!). If you tried to figure out all the possibilites you would see some, many uncertainties.
Without confirmation, short of data, with a dream of things you want…wishful. We do it a lot.
Grated cheese combines uncertainty (what type of cheese it was before the great grate is sometimes a mystery); possibilities – it could taste good and be cheesy; we wish in a full way for it to do the job as it melts onto a poached egg landed atop some truly grainy whole-seeded bread.
Ok….we’re home!
