:Doubtful that a visual inspection was done - drinking cups were dark then, rather than the glass that is popular today.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 22:13, 16 June 2012 (EDT)

:: Yeah, it's not like the top of the cup is clear and they could have viewed the liquid from above.... --[[User:MatthewQ|MatthewQ]] 02:18, 17 June 2012 (EDT)

== Problems with the concept ==

*Does it apply to other miracles as well? E.g., the [[feeding of the 5000]]? Cursing of the [[fig]] tree?
*Why does a devine miracle depend on a human observer? Jesus has performed the miracle, the outcome was clear: whoever tasted the erstwhile water drunk wine. There is no uncertainty in it.
