Some thoughts:
Why, why, why do we press harder on the remote control when we know the batteries are getting weak?Why do banks charge a fee due to insufficient funds when they already know you're broke?Why is it that when someone tells you that there are one billion stars in the universe you believe them, but if they tell you there is wet paint you have to touch it to check?
