Purists would say that a “[[warranty]]” is no more suitable for a statement of ''future'' fact — if, [[Epistemology|epistemologically]], | Purists would say that a “[[warranty]]” is no more suitable for a statement of ''future'' fact than a [[representation]] — if, [[Epistemology|epistemologically]], a “future fact” is even a thing, and those same purists would say it is not — for who knows what the future brings? The [[common law]] is no hard determinist; the [[Golden thread|golden thread of precedent]] looks backward, not forward; the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune may yet pin us to a different hill. If the future is a ''soufflé'', it is not so much that it hasn’t yet risen, but that the jurists who might be eating it have not yet decided whether they’re even going to that ''restaurant'', and nor do they know whether it even has ''soufflé'' on the menu in the first place. | ||
