pu'o implies that the event did not take place YET! We are, in the context
of missed trains and averted fights, asking if pu'o means the event EVER
takes place.

I thought before, incorrectly, that pu'o implies the event actually does
(will) take place. Jorge and pc corrected me. Now I assert that pu'o
should not be taken to imply anything about whether or not the event ever
occurs; only that it seems likely to. I believe this is what Jorge and pc
tried to convey. Am I right all all around?
