Let's be real though, everything is IF statements all the way down

There's not a single thing in this universe that cannot be accomplished with enough IF statements... as long as you've got infinite time to wait

...you mean IF you've got infinite time to wait?

The problem with if is the answer comes from user. There’s no mathematical reason or scientific explanation, only programmer who thinks the answer should include the subject.

True...

But even on a more metaphorical level, every single thing that has or will happen in this universe, down to even the smallest quantum fluctuations could be encapsulated into IF statements as long as you had enough of them.

What if there was an unintentional infinite loop in your code. You could be waiting for infinite time only to learn the code had a bug. D:
