This could have been written by the great French
philosoph Pierre Dac, who said, among many other deep
maxims:
"Si rien n'est moins sur que l'incertain, rien n'est
plus certain que ce qui est aussi sur"

(please put the circumflexes back on both "sur")

"If nothing is less sure than the incertain, nothing
is more certain than what is equally sure". (1)

Foggy today, isn't it ?

(1) He also said that the one who, in life, started
from zero to get to nowhere, doesn't have to thank
anybody.

Oh, BTW, thanks for information about Unicode.
