* The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_L._DeWitt#Internment_of_Japanese_Americans internment of Japanese citizens in the US]] was justified, in part, by General John [=DeWitt=] because, "The very fact that no sabotage has taken place to date is a disturbing and confirming indication that such action will be taken." Clearly Japanese-Americans were not committing sabotage not because they were loyal, but because they were waiting for the right moment to strike.

** The same goes for puppies or badly-trained dogs. If the puppy is running around playing with toys, barking, and generally making noise, that means they're okay - if they're suddenly quiet and not just sleeping in your sight, they're likely getting into trouble of some sort. If they're suddenly tired and lethargic and there's no good reason for it such as having just had an intense play session or very hot/cold weather? ''Take them to a vet,'' immediately because this can be a sign of severe illness.
