Well, you can, naturally, assert that the earth is a cube of slightly rancid
lime Jell-O, that Richard Nixon's son, Toddelbeam, would be appointed an
ambassador to China, that birds fly because they are filled with  a
currently unknown isotope of Helium,  that the famous mime opera "Gilgamesh
and the Seven Babylonian Tarts" was secretly written by Cole Porter, or that
the atomic weight of titanium is 17 (give or take a couple of electron
volts). So I stand corrected. I meant that you cannot assert something as a
possible fact and have some probability (or possibility) that it will be
true when the complement of that something has already taken place.

That, of course, applies to your current assertion <grin>
