Stupid people always say no. There are no rules given for what smart people say. One could answer no to the question and the stupid people rule may not be applicable.
The only right answer
Also, "Stupid people always say 'No'" is an incorrect statement. Only a Sith deals in absolutes!
There is no try, only do or do not!
All !do is do not (!do); all do is do. [law of non-contradiction]. All try = do or !do [succeeds or fails, proven by observation]
Therefore, no try != Not (do or !do)
Therefore try is a useless term / there is no distinct "try" that is neither do nor do not.
One must do or do not; there is no try.
Quod Erat Demonstrandum
This is true only in hindsight though. You will always have done or not done even if you always set out to "do". From this perspective it makes "don't try" a little fatalistic, no?
Valid, but I do believe you're overthinking a forced star wars pun...
Probably true
