But there's the condition "really" alive in her quote that's entirely
subjective in respect to the interpreter, which makes the whole
argument of annoyance being a precondition to proof of (possibly some
condition of) life entirely bunk in that it can't be evaluated.  While
IF A THEN B==C is valid, there's can be no IF A THEN B REALLLLLY
EQUALS C, because REALLY would be a subjective symbol.
