> "Near-death" experiences. Obviously, they didn't actually die when their heart stopped. At least, it should be obvious.

It's obvious framed that way because it's a tautology that removes the possibility of reviving (restore to life), by framing it as impossible.

Life, if truly and fully gone, cannot be restored; therefore any life that appears to have been restored must be an illusion.

E.g. Max in "A Princess Bride:" "He's only mostly dead."
