I'd written:
"I wonder why you'd find it useful to quibble about the FACT of how things will be expected to change as those events do unfold ?"
There is a plan. We appear to agree on the time it might take ?
We DO KNOW where this is heading... we know what the plan is, and what the time lines probably are, within some reasonable range of estimates. And, we've not quibbled about that much...
So, why is it useful to NOT quibble about how long it will take to get there, following the plan... while quibbling instead about whether or not you can tell if the car is even moving ?
You clearly know full well enough that it is...
The reply I see... appears to say that you don't bother with or ever find it useful to notice freeway signs while driving. You don't believe in GPS... maps... don't use headlights at night... and won't listen to anyone else in the car about anything... whether what they are saying is useful or not ?
If you DO pay attention... some of those things may useful in telling you where you are, which direction you are traveling, how fast, and how far it is to various destinations along the route... ?
They even have a handy numbering system for the exits on the freeway... and mile markers along the way that synch with them...
Of course, if you keep your eyes closed... you won't see them.
You're on the freeway heading to San Francisco... and see advantage in pretending you have no idea where you are, where the city is, or when you might get there... can't even manage (while not bothering with looking at the speedometer, not bothering with looking out the window, while not thinking or exercising any judgement) to tell if the car is even moving ?
So, after having planned out the trip, you then opt to posture as driving along that freeway... deaf, dumb and blind... making the natural questions... not "When are we going to get there ?" or "Are we there yet ?" but "Why AREN'T we there yet?" and "Is this car even moving ?"
LOL!!!
If you ARE driving, and have passed by, while not actually having pulled off in Redding, Sacramento, Napa, Petaluma, San Rafael, or Corte Madera... and you didn't take the Bay Bridge exit and end up lost in Oakland... or wander into Sausalito by accident...
Well, you're STILL not there yet... ???
So, why pretend you can't tell where you are... when you know damned well where you are ?
We'll be there when we're there...
Am I going to have to pull this car over...
Because I will...
