      All !do is do not (!do); all do is do. [law of non-contradiction]. All try = do or !do [succeeds or fails, proven by observation]

      Therefore, no try != Not (do or !do)

      Therefore try is a useless term / there is no distinct “try” that is neither do nor do not.

      One must do or do not; there is no try.

        This is true only in hindsight though. You will always have done or not done even if you always set out to “do”. From this perspective it makes “don’t try” a little fatalistic, no?
