Not P but more DFW

[Mark Kohut]

The most common use, perhaps, of autonomic is in the phrase "autonomic

I am sure you have looked up the dictionary definition of
"autonomic"....unconscious, involuntary.....

So DFW has penned an oxymoron brilliantly: 'will' used this one means one
doesn't have time to will....
