One can't agree with the statement


Explanation:
The above really means "one will most likely choose to disagree" or "logic will bring us to disagreeing", etc. Because there can't be a statement with which it would be truly impossible to agree. It may be truly impossible to agree to do something really impossible, but not "with the statement".
