"Positive reinforcement for continuing to be wrong instead of quiet! Now, really I only told you half of a proverb, just then. The real proverb says that to ask what a proposition means, we ask what you should see that's different, depending on whether the proposition is true or false. Yesterday, water was liquid; tomorrow, water won't be liquid. How are yesterday and tomorrow different? Well, yesterday, when I poured water from the cup, it spread out over the floor, in puddles where it clung to itself. So if tomorrow, I pour out water, and it stays in the same shape as when it left the cup, then tomorrow, 'water is liquid' is false. Yesterday, you used a spell to duplicate something - let's say a small flower, a dandelion - and the duplicate dandelion seemed just the same as the original. Tomorrow, you use a spell to duplicate a dandelion, and the resulting flower is blue instead of yellow. Is one no longer equal to one, tomorrow? Yesterday, one equaled one; tomorrow, it won't. What will you see tomorrow that's different from today?"
