Please extrapolate.
From MW - see bolded:
..
2 a : to project, extend, or expand (known data or experience) into an area not known or experienced so as to arrive at a usually conjectural knowledge of the unknown area <extrapolates present trends to construct an image of the future> b : to predict by projecting past experience or known data <extrapolate public sentiment on one issue from known public reaction on others>
Ok Chip, since you insist:
I can not extrapolate on, to or from my comment based on definition #2. And here is why:
The part or sentence you highlighted starts with: "
From what I hear...". I thus implied
hearsay and therefor maybe not facts I could or would not even wish to verify (If you'd insist, it would have to be with
your car!
).
So, I cannot seem to hypothesize from
known facts as to definition #2 of the word "extrapolate" as they are merely (extrapolated?) conclusions of mine based on/from what I am hearing or have heard, which is that it may not be safe/advisable to take a vehicle into Haiti as it could face a heightened risk of being stolen or otherwise attracting "trouble" and the suspiscion that Dominican vehicle insurance my choose not to cover such a loss (very easily). As I did not post based on a personal life experience, I further added; "
... there would have been a good chance...", like "it
might...". Maybe I ought to have used "could" instead of "would"?
Bottom line is, I still think the OP
may have been lucky not to have been allowed into Haiti with their vehicle. There is no way
I would take
my truck to Haiti and I therefor just seem to feel free to have shared this personal
opinion on this board.
I hope to have clarified my point to your satisfaction, Chip and also hope you will excuse my limited command of the English language which may have led to a wording which I am aware could very well have left you confused as to the value of my comment.
... J-D.
