Or to put it a simple way. You and I work at the same office.
I want to know if you plan to eat a snickers bar today... so I ask.
"Will anyone eat a snickers bar today because I am allergic to peanuts."
your reply is
"I don't know, I can't speak for anyone else in the office... so I can't tell you one way or another if someone will have a snickers bar, you'd better be careful and wear gloves."
I can safely assume you are in fact not going to have a snickers bar... since otherwise you could of simply said "Yes, I plan to have a Snickers bar today."
By stating that you don't know if someone is going to have a snickers bar today you are infact telling everyone that you are not currently planning on having a snickers bar today.
