I like this analogy:
When you put an egg in boiling water, it becomes hard, the water changed the situation of the egg. When you put a potato in boiling water, it becomes soft, the water changed the situation of the potato. When you put a coffee bean in boiling water, it remains the same and changes the situation of the water. More beans causes a greater change. I think Anons are like the coffee bean.....changing the situation of what is around them.
