I mean really people, Andy Griffith was a nice character, and all that - even wise in his homespun way. But you can't expect a simple Sheriff to know the immediate future! He isn't a crystal ball with a badge.

You throw some burners into a wooden cabin, and a fire breaks out. There's no predictable causal relationship there. It's like the tides. Know what I mean? Tides go in tides go out and nobody knows why. You can't explain that!
