If I’m able to prevent something small, does that negate the entire event altogether? Let’s say I’m walking with a pen in my mouth and see myself tripping and choking on it, so I remove that pen from my mouth. It would make at least some sense to me if I still tripped, but most times the entire event I’ve seen simply doesn’t happen. My experience tells me that removing the pen from my mouth is inconsequential, just a knee-jerk reaction to what I’ve seen.
A reaction to something that won’t happen. It sure sounds nuts.
