i think a simpler solution might be in order....

i you happen to know that one of your children (or many of your children)
prefer chocolate ice cream over say vanilla and you presented the given
child (or children) a choice of flavors.......

you KNOW (based on past experience, etc) that he/she/they, will choose
the flavor that they prefer, and in this case it is chocolate......

it is not a matter of "seeing someting" it is simply a matter of knowing
something, which Hashem, as our creator, knows things about us......
