True, enough ... one must consider both the kinetic and thermodynamic
requirements for existence, but I was thinking that the system was perhaps at
equilibrium by now. Still, it was careless of me to use non-existence to argue
for either the absense of cause or presence of impossibility. I am still
waiting to get a straight flush in 5-card draw.
