Hehe.  Technically it doesn't work that way.  At this very moment, the 
certificate can be both valid and invalid.  However, once we query John 
about his state (akin to opening the bag and checking up on the Cat) and 
he produces an answer, the wave function that is John's SSL Certificate 
has collapsed.  At that point, the certificate can either be valid or 
invalid, but not both.  I strongly urge John to consider the moral 
ramifications involved in destroying an otherwise harmless duality, and 
hope he chooses to remain silent to keep things exciting.
