logan: in a museyroom, say, when you're walking around a contemporary art gallery, you often hear someone loudly say: I COULD HAVE DONE THAT.

but of course, you didn't.
you didn't and you couldn't have.
if you could have, you'd have done it.
but chance are, it would never have occurred to you.
there's the difference.

but if you can make stuff like malevich, why aren't you?
