You only said "probably not", so you are also implying it is probably true. Why didn't you just say "absolutely not"?

That's not how probably works. GP is only implying it's potentially true, presumably because they aren't sure they've fully considered every angle of the question and there may be weird edge cases.

Let's not Purity Test people for showing some humbleness in their beliefs. We could probably use more of that these days.
