I have a simple example:

I can drive around with a bumper sticker that reads, "KingAsher is not 3 years old," without knowing how old you really are, or implying that I know how old you really are.

In fact, everyone could agree that the statement on my bumper sticker is true without having any idea of your actual (true) age.

The only thing the bumper sticker is saying is that you are not 3 years old. Maybe I know how old you really are, and maybe I don't.


Maybe I know what the answer is, other than war, maybe I don't. It makes no difference. The message is that I know that you are not 3 years old and the other message is that I know war is not the answer. No more, no less.
