Can you tell how many peanuts are in the jar by counting how many times you take a peanut out of the jar, dust it off and then put it back?

You never take a peanut out of the jar, since I never mentioned doing so.

Just because you stop doing something, doesn't mean the reverse starts happening.
That's the equivalence.
