Bobbo-

Yes, I *loved* Les's example.

For those that weren't there, Les dropped a pencil on the floor and said to the class:

"Try to pick this up."

So someone picked it up.

"No, no," said Les. "I didn't say *pick* it up. I said *try* to pick it up."

We all spent a few minutes thinking about what he was saying.

In short, you either pick the pencil up, or you don't.

Or as Yoda says;

Do, or do not. There is no "try".
