I guess we just disagree about this. 
I freely choose vanilla ice cream.  Whether I would NEVER choose 
broccoli ice cream or it is just HIGHLY IMPROBABLE I would ever 
or I would DIE before I would choose it, is irrelevant.

Love is never having to choose broccoli ice cream.

Only when they can make it taste like vanilla.
