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. -- Get Glued!
