Well, actually, now that I think about it, this does bring up an interesting legal thought experiment; if a man is accused of screwing a cat, he is presumed innocent until proven guilty. If he is proven guilty, then the cat was screwed. However, since he was presumed innocent before, and with no outside observer to verify if the cat was actually screwed, would the cat be unscrewed until the guilty verdict came in, therefore meaning the cat was retroactively screwed by the guilty verdict? Or is the cat both screwed and unscrewed at the same time?
