Just thought the olam should know that the phrase is “every lid has a pot”. Not “every pot has a lid”. As has been observed not every pot has a lid but the only reason a lid would be made is to cover a pot, hence the necessity of pot given lid. Or in mathematical terms: (p)p|l = 1. Whereas (p)l|p < 1. We could possibly do a study on the incidence of pot/lid co-manufacture to determine a precise value for (p)l|p but I’m not sure I can be bothered.
What do you mean ‘this thread is about shidduchim’?
