Right?
Determining whether this condition holds either making some assumptions
that may or may not be true or having some magical future-predicting
technology.
If nothing else, I'm thinking things like "I would like to buffer up
this 3-hour-long-video so I can watch it on the plane, where my network
bandwidth will be precisely 0". Definitely as use case I've had.
