This is a bit like presenting someone with a raw egg on a plate and saying "ah, but if I had cooked it, might it not be a tasty omelet?" Correctness is the hard part!
More like a covered plate you're expected to eat without looking. "This may be an amazing omelet and you will have a great meal, or you may eat a raw egg, get salmonella, and be sick for a week. It's probably an omelet, but I'm not sure, so you'll probably be fine. Enjoy!"
