Tut, tut, tut, Dick. Don't put words in anyone's mouth. YOU are the
one making predictions with an unjustified air of total certainty.
Others have said that it's POSSIBLE. We (unlike some others) are not
couching our OPINIONS as FACTS. Neither your prediction, my
prediction, or anyone else's predictions will EVER be FACTS, even if
subsequent events prove that one or more of those predictions was
correct. That does NOT make those predictions, retroactively, factual.
To help you understand this, my prediction that the New York Mets will
win the 2008 World Series isn't a FACT (even if I really really really
really think they will), and it STILL won't be a FACT even if they DO
win the World Series. Does that help you understand?
As far as your theory---it ain't "accepted as fact", since some of us
disagree with you, and it the evidence ain't "overwhelming"
support our contention that positive VP might soon become extinct,
that being a logical extrapolation of all that's happened so far.
If you feel very very very very certain that there will still be
positive VP in Vegas by the end of the year, or this time next year,
or the year 2047, I say, bully! bully! I hope you're right! However,
there are a number of other things that people feel very very very
very certain of, and turn out to be incorrect--so I take no
consolation from your certainty.
