But neither the headmaster, dorayme nor I, will reveal more than any boy here can take. I think it is time to stop flicking ink at each other and whatever you are all doing under the desks - is that a rabbit I see? Zinnic, stand up straight and do up your fly you disgusting little boy and bring that rabbit up here immediately.

No, of course not. There you go again, pretending that preceeding certain with the adjective absolutely changes anything about the meaning of certain, you still haven't even explained how the adjective axiomatic changed the meaning of certainty. You need to clear this up, are you saying that you are absolutely uncertain or absolutely certain that you cant ever be absolutely certain? MG

Apparently you are still not thinking. There is a huge difference between conscious thinking and automated thinking. One plans your survival the other ensures you survive to carry those plans. /BAH
