Rule of Roelofs

When an action does not take effect during a potential period of time, it is rolled off to the next more optimal window of opportunity. This is not a function of statistical probability, it is simply the way things are and cannot be explained by logic or mathematical analysis; it just happens that way.

Not petard hoistery)'
That's you. That's a diagram of you and how you 'act.' "
