Never say no. Instead, I will say "I don't know the way". :)

Or rather, I haven't found a way. There is always firewalking to try, but
that can be time consuming and I'm not sure about the validity of the
results. I think it depends upon the type of the firewall as to the success
of the probing using this technique - Anyone feel free to jump in when they
think my head is just below the surface. Thx.

(interesting graphic on that site btw.) I don't think the author's have, but
I will attach a warning - not for people who suffer from epilepsy or
headaches induced by flashing lights. :D (j/k)

I was simply being pedantic with the rest of it.
