I'm willing to sell it to you not for 1000 dollars, or 100,000 dollars, but 100,000,000 dollars. You agree and give me a handsome initial sum, which covers my showing you how to work the thing and any future improvements. Now I hold it behind my back, and have one of my friends stand behind me, and I operate the device where you can't see it. The friend says the frobnicator did indeed flibbertygibbet. It's now time for you to pay up. Suppose for the sake of argument that the thing did in fact flibbertygibbet. If you're being realistic, would you hand over the money, given that you've had good reason in other contexts to think that the thing doesn't work as advertised? I sincerely hope not. Eric
