   But what about when there is a match, will there be a   
   sign of that?  Not necessarily, but you can take the   
   absence of a sign that there is no match as an indication   
   that there is a match.  But in some cases when there is   
   a match the deity might choose to provide a sign that   
   there is a match, at least on one occasion.
