I dont see a difference in intent at all. Can you explain that? Theres not some loophole left in the word might, context matters.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know how to explain it more clearly. "It might snow tomorrow" doesn't mean it will snow tomorrow, it means there is a possibility. It isn't a loophole lol.

But if I said, "it might snow tomorrow, but I'm going to work no matter what", then you could safely say that I plan to drive in the snow if the situation arises.

In this case the situation did arise, johnny was just being cheeky, he absolutely knew it was a sin, but his pride wouldnt allow him to deny the challenge because he believed he was better and could prove it.
