Getting "somewhere" is never a problem.


Perhaps the classic example of this of this sort of thinking is from Alice in Wonderland (chapter 6). Alice is confused as to where she should be headed, and when she meets the Cheshire cat, tries to enlist his aid:
'Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'
'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat.
'I don't much care where ----' said Alice.
'Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.
'---- so long as I get somewhere,' Alice added as an explanation.
'Oh, you're sure to do that,' said the Cat, 'if you only walk enough.'
And on the web as well, it really doesn't matter on what we click - the link will bring us somewhere. Luckily, more often than not, there's something of interest to be found wherever we end up.
