Those things are about the timeliness - bad weather one day vs another, some people get the disease and others don't, early death verses a longer life. It's about what is reasonable to expect. It might be reasonable to expect good weather on a specific day, or even to live past the age of 50. It's unreasonable to expect to live indefinitely.
- tim333 2y agoYeah it's probably not 'reasonable' to expect to live on. But sometimes the technical possibilities open up to do something new. Shaw quote: ‘The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.’
- giantg2 2y agoSure, if the situation changes in the future, then it could be reasonable. That's not the case currently.
