I do NOT accept the premis that a person can know what they like without

things, you cannot know if you would like them or not. For example, the
fear of heights and the potential risk factor stops me from trying
parachuting. Thus I can never know whether I would actually like it.
In
the case of the 5th item on your list, it could be downright unhealthy
and
should NOT be tried even if you think you would like it.

There's lots of things in life that I thought I would not like until
experience proved me wrong. I originally got into ham radio simply
because
my husband at that time insisted I do this with him. Of course I "knew"
that I wouldn't like it and was only doing it to please him but in the
end I
was proven wrong. It is one of my favorite pastimes.

I have never tried drinking lye and I know I wouldn't
like it. By your reasoning I should try it as I might like dying.


Negative. I've already stated that high risk levels of danger are
justification for NOT trying something. Such a risk level overrides the
potential of liking or disliking something. You just are NOT reading what I
write.
