The coup was just an example, to show that ("nice" | president dead) does not imply ("nice" | president alive). The coup thing can be patched if we know about it, but it's just an example of the general problem.
So the question is how do we solve a problem that we don't know exists. We only know it might exist, and that it will be solved under some conditions but not in others. And we don't know which conditions will be good and which will be bad. Yes, that is a tricky problem.
