Ah, here's a pair right now.
No, wait, not Fraggles, what's the word for off topic people? Oh never mind.

1010011010: You keep asking for a direct jump from will not to can not. I, as you say, "stepped up to the plate", in my very first post in this thread:
Quote:
Saying something is a possible outcome to a given situation is to say that were you to go through the situation an infinite number of times, at some point that thing would occur. To use previous metaphors, if Bob could choose chololate, then at some point, bob would. If Bob choses vanilla 100% of the time then he never will, and thus cannot. Will not is the same as can not.
