Hehe. Technically it doesn't work that way. At this very moment, the
certificate can be both valid and invalid. However, once we query John
about his state (akin to opening the bag and checking up on the Cat) and
he produces an answer, the wave function that is John's SSL Certificate
has collapsed. At that point, the certificate can either be valid or
invalid, but not both. I strongly urge John to consider the moral
ramifications involved in destroying an otherwise harmless duality, and
hope he chooses to remain silent to keep things exciting.
