ME: NO shares past experience. YOU: (NO) Simply "defines" past experience. And the distinction is? Should I take the time to explain that we shouldn't cross the street now in order to avoid an oncoming bus due to undeniable principles of physics? And then begin a largely pointless development of this principle. NO, I just said "You'll be squished like a bug." They got it. If they persisted in going into traffic I'd show them road kills, and say this could be you. Now THAT is simplification. "You'll be squished like a bug". Or I could try, GO! see if you can dash in front of the bus and get there sooner. Maybe. GO! Only 1% of the time will the bus driver not see you in time to stop. GO! Show Newton how rigid his preconceived ideas about inertia and mass are and that you are greater than that. Get a grip!! Appropriateness is my point. Context and consequence is everything. Words really mean nothing without a context. The smaller the word, the less it generally means. And NO does carry meaning. More than GO! It is the negation operation. NO candy. Candy NOT. See the "have candy" state, Johnny. The opposite state is yours. Crisp. Logical.
