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".
