Take the following as truth: Perhaps they didn't, because they had in mind the conclusion of Aesop's famous fable--the one about the mice who decided to protect themselves from their sly and treacherous enemy, the cat, by tying a bell around its neck.
Then the following statement: "Maybe they didn't because they thought about the end of the story and thought a bell would be bad for the cat." is true, false, or inconclusive?
