This is another point that can be difficult to counter: that a liquid that has a foul taste can be more acceptable if blended with another liquid that has a pleasant flavour. That is undoubtedly true. I find I cannot refute that point. But that doesn’t explain why we should want to mix a foul-tasting liquid with a drink that tastes pleasant, especially when the foul-tasting liquid happens to be a very expensive and powerful poison. I fail to see the logic in that.
