@kwendy Fair points, but the main thing here is that I don't see how your argument counters mine.
Not that I'm trying to be combative xD
What I'm saying is, yes, what you say IS possible. But I still think my take is ALSO possible. Maybe not 50/50. I'm willing to give you 30/70 (whatever, fuck numbers). You were all up there saying "omfg, this is IMPOSSIBLE".
So let me quote you: is it really so?
Improbable? Sure. Unlikely? Sure. Impossible? Eh.
And I mean, whenever I see people discussing "impossible" in fictional works, I can't help but chuckle. Have you peered out the window lately? A Dorito was president of Dumbfuckistan for 4 years. We have flat Earthers. Anti vaxxers. Anti maskers.
You ask me, that shit is WAY more impossible than this. Yet here we are...
