>Why do you think it yet exists?

Because I asked about it, and you answered by confidently describing it, instead of saying "it doesn't exist."

I described something by saying what it isn't. I think you understand the concept of looking for something having some idea of what it is and isn't, but not knowing exactly what it would be.

To an outside reader, it sounds like you know exactly what it is but are trying to not call it by its name for some reason.

No, it sounds like he knows what result he wants but doesn't know how to get there.

To me, another outside reader, daenz sounded like the one who knew exactly what answer he wanted to hear, right from the start. This is actually a very strange question to ask that early in a conversation what name such a basic and legitimate but abstract desire could have.
