"Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth."

is that the actual quote? Maybe not enough coffee on my part but i am having difficulty with it.

By eliminating impossible, which strikes me a fairly redundant thing to do, we are left with probable and improbable?

Your post could have been written by:

- Kurtz79 (probable)

- Marlow79 using your login for REASONS (possible but improbable)

- Elon Musk using your login for REASONS(possible but improbable)

- Stephen Hawking (impossible)

- Queen Victoria (impossible)

etc ...

do we really need to eliminate all the impossible? i'm not sure it really moves us along finding the OP, even if we do.
