Picture this:

I enact a scene from SAW with you as my victim. I place you in a room with food on a table...but you can't reach it because your leg is chained to the wall. Several days go by and you feel sick and hungry.

There is a saw next to you -- you'll have to remove a foot if you want to reach what I'm offering.

By *your* logic, I could turn around and say: "Hey...food was AVAILABLE. Sure he had to lose a foot to reach it, but it was THERE! He COULD reach it if he wanted it bad enough".
