Should Dems Boycott SOTU address?

77. Zero chance? 98% couldn't care less?

I can’t believe the MSM keeps hiding these concrete numbers from us. I believe there is a vanishingly small but non zero chance most will do this. I see “zero chance” bandied about too casually for my tastes. The only rhetorical reason I can see to assign zero probability to an idea that has a non zero chance of occurring is to make person considering it feel foolish.
I’ll also remember that it is pointless to ask any questions that are not likely to happen. No more thought experiments? Sometimes entertaining possible but improbable scenarios (I forgot here we have an impossible scenario) can give us insights into our thoughts and understanding of a matter. I see no issue with discussing this matter every year as one year there may be a non zero chance of a boycott and then I hope our opinions mights matter. I’m not even sure I disagree with your assessment, but I’d like to be able to consider it without being told that one position is so beyond reason it would be folly to consider the question. Your knowledge and understanding is valuable here, so I’m disappointed when I feel you could make your point less dismissively.
