You can only hope for something that you don't know for sure to be
true or false. For example, if you didn't go to the market you can
wish you had gone, but you can't hope you had gone. If I didn't go,
you can hope I did if you don't know whether I did or not. If you do
know that I did, you may be happy I did, or you may wish I hadn't, but
hope is out of the question.

 That makes= sense. Still, the attitudinals seem poorly organized.
