Well yeah, but really there are things that I can know with enough certainty that it may as well be an absolute for all intents and purposes.
I'm "certain" I'm not going to be president of the United States. Is it "possible"?, well, yes, anythings possible, but honestly how likely is it?
This is the same kind of certainty with which I can predict my future use of alcohol.
