If there are no marks or stains, safe to assume no coffee spill?

[ProQuiz]

Yesterday, I was drinking some unsweetened black coffee. As I was taking a sip, I got an urge to cough and coughed while I was taking a sip. Some coffee spilled on the floor, got a little bit on the left side of my desk, and a little bit on my left bookshelf speaker. I immediately wiped it all away.

As far as I can tell, I got none on my MacBook Pro 14", but how can I be sure? I wasn't sitting in front of the MacBook when I coughed, I was standing at the edge of the left side of the desk (which is about 1 meter wide). I very carefully inspected the MacBook's keyboard, screen, and body and did not notice anything. I even wiped it all down just to be sure. If there were no stains/marks anywhere on the MacBook, is it safe to assume no coffee got onto it?

Always the possibility of a "Magic Bullet" droplet but it's unlikely.

If some coffee or drops of coffee got onto the MacBook there would be marks, correct?

Probably, but not necessarily. A small drop could ket under a key without leaving a drying mark visible, although that is highly unlikely. Chances are highly unlikely if you see no spots any coffee that may have gotten on it.

I feel your worries.

Just recently I was having a sub with roast beef. I felt worried right after and wiped clean my Mac Studio right after I came home from work. My wife was crying.

Does it matter? What would you do differently if you could be sure it did?

If any liquid got into my keyboard I would just let it dry, and deal with any potential issues if they present themselves.

My wife was crying.

That poor woman! You should be ashamed of yourself, I hope you learned your lesson.
