​That because a rat can remember the past and a rat can use induction to
make a prediction, and most important of all a rat knows if it's prediction
turned out to be correct or not and that enables the rat to improve its
induction process for Mr. Rat's next prediction. But if Mr. I, who is about
to enter a "I" duplicating chamber, asks the question "Will I see Moscow
tomorrow?" the only answer Mr. I will ever get is "yes and no", and that is
not an answer so that was not a question.
