The former implies a possibility. That what he describes didn't happen in your case, while worth applauding, doesn't make the possibility any less true, especially for those that actually experience what the OP describes.
- brain5ide 14y agoThat's exactly the part that bothers me the most. It's just like fortune tellers saying what can happen. If it's a statement, then it's unfalcifiable and hence is useless. If it's something else(a lesson?) then it should have a better context. I'm just a bit strict on people making statements.
