Metaphysics

Sometimes people stumble inadvertently on deep philosophical truths.  Well, maybe not deep but interesting.  Consider this.  A store has a printed sign on its door which says:

A dog

Carried in your arms

Into the store

Is still

A DOG

Why hasn't anyone until now thought of expressing such overlooked truism in writing?

Or this.  Ten days after the disappearance of the Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 no solid clues have emerged, and those disclosed during the first days, such as alleged ascent of the aircraft to the height of 45,000 feet have since been discounted. The media and the Internet are filled with "experts" and amateurs explaining to the world their sincerely felt theories, every one of them wilder than the next one. (Side effect of popular bad literature and movies.)

One such theory I've encountered asked why the U.S. president has been so "strangely" quiet about this incident, and concluded (it wasn't explained how!) that the silence indicated  the president knew much more than he was saying, knew what happened, and knew where the airplane was.

This inspired me to generalize this theory into a universal observation,  omitting the details of the incident and the person of the current president,  which with time regardless of the outcome of the mystery will become obsolete and irrelevant, and I arrived at this:

Nobody is saying anything, therefore they know everything!
