That's not true. If I give you coordinates from some reference point
to where Waldo is, and you can't find Waldo (you give up and want me
to prove that I did find him) I simply give you my reference point
(same as I would have had you found Waldo). You then follow those
coordinates to Waldo and see that I knew what I was talking about. If
you can't find the reference point and give you coordinates to it from
a mutually known point (the upper left hand corner of the page, etc.).
