Omar, Doesn't a limited set imply that the object is not lost?
Micah Well, no - that's what I'm saying - that it's ONLY nonsensical when the set of possible locations is infinite as in "it might be ANYWHERE!" - but when you're limiting your set to a finite amount of locations (the 5 drawers I mentioned, for example) - then the statement isn't nonsensical at all. It just laments the fact that you had to go through all 4 OTHER drawers first... As for fact and fiction - well, until I've worked out what all the facts are - I'll leave that question open :) And no, I don't think the set is always infinite until the object is found - for example - there are cases where I'm looking for a book among a limited set of shelved on which I might've put it (cause I do sort of categorize my books) - so I KNOW that if it's not inside that limited set - that I've lent it out to a friend, and in that case my search is over, despite the fact that I've exhausted the limited set of searchable shelves.
