but stating that the literal is all I had to go on ("self-evident": I have no
other start date for "drinking").

The way i see it, the term benevolent dictator was right in the premise of the question so yes i do think you either grant that premise in order to answer the question or else the question is disingenuously worded and frankly not worth answering.
I mean immortality just doesn't exist, while I think benevolent dictators can't exist by definition. But I agree with your point

Nah, you're just being smart. There isn't a person here who wasn't entirely clear on what I meant. Do I need to use puppets and diagrams in future? Come on man, I get the joke, but admit it was a joke, or at least a piece of sarcasm. Nobody could be that pedantic.

For instance, if a cop pulled you over and said "Excuse me sir have you been drinking?" are you going to be looking guiltily at that bottle of orange soda? I understand it's a joke, but you really should admit it.

Wow. Ok, you’re gonna take what I said personally. NEVER did I say that you weren’t clear in your meaning. All I said was … oh fuck it. I can’t do anything when it comes to someone else’s reading comprehension. You’ve basically taken a self-referentially answered statement and turned it into a personal butthurt. The “joke” (your interpretation, not mine) was that I don’t have the experience of alcohol drinking, so I was going for “drinking” in the general form. Take a stress pill dude.

Difficult though it is to tear my attention away from this examination of the word "drinking", I am drawn back to Marie's answer:

Any of the big physics mysteries. The incompatibility of quantum physics and general relativity, dark matter/energy etc.
Dark Matter is a particularly worrisome mystery to me:

Dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter thought to account for approximately 85% of the matter in the universe......
no one has directly observed dark matter yet – assuming it exists....
Dark matter has only made it to scientific orthodoxy since about the 1980s: so for centuries, science, incl astonomy, has been looking at just 15% of the universe? How parochial, how myopic.

Other mysteries that I would like answers to* are: What is outside the observable universe? Why was there a Big Bang at all? If there are other Big Bangs, are they unreachably far away in time, or in space, or both?

* I'd like answers, but preferably in one-line sentences please, on account of attention-span issues.

You've never drank alcohol, rostasi? That had to take a lot of willpower given the peer pressure we all go through as teens. I'm impressed.
