I'm keeping you back a grade and sending you for remedial. I will rephrase it yet again for your benefit! ;-)

The report states CONCLUSIVELY--no "ifs", no "ands", no "buts"--that "IN All PROBABILITY" Japan would have surrendered by the end of October, at the latest.

I don't know why you are having trouble with this rather simple concept! But let me help you with an even simpler example:

It is my opinion that: In ALL probability, when I turn on this tap, water will issue forth. I do not need to equivocate on that statement because it is near certainty (no "ifs", no "ands", no "buts"). My statement is conclusive without being omniscient.
