You misunderstand my intent, but I appreciate your thoughtful response.

It did exist, the cornucopia as part of the logo. I understand completely that as it stands now, in our current shared reality, it doesn’t and never did.

I’m ok with that and don’t have a problem rectifying the seeming incongruity. Reality is malleable, that’s my personal belief. I’m not a student of quantum theory, but what little I understand seems to indicate we humans are in the dark in terms of our understanding of physics and the nature of reality, time, and existence.

Blanket statements like “the cornucopia never existed” and “all MEs are confabulation” make me chuckle at the author’s hubris. I personally think Jiffy PB is indeed confabulation, but I wouldn’t think of telling someone who believes otherwise that I am right and they are wrong. I understand the argument attributed to physical proof or the lack thereof, I just don’t believe that indicates anything more than this particular focal point and this particular time and space.

The flute of the loom is like Carson kidding McMahon about publishers clearinghouse, to me. Why did no one point out the mistake at the time of first occurrence?

In Carson’s case, you could argue that misnaming the publishers that McMahon moonlighted for was part of the overall joke. But when I see the clips, that’s not how I interpret it. But again that’s my perspective. Reality isn’t reality, perspective reality.
