va32h:

guzu, I understand your argument. I just don't agree with it, and 
thus we are at an impasse. 

Your entire argument boils down to: "This scenario is not believable 
because I personally don't believe it."

Well, several of us do find it believable, and your saying we 
shouldn't doesn't make a difference. 

It reminds me of a petty argument I often have with my spouse. I will 
turn down the thermostat because I am hot. He will turn it back up 
and say "it's not hot." We are both right. 79 degrees is just right 
for him and too hot for me. And we can fuss at each other all day, 
but his saying "it's not hot" doesn't make me feel one degree cooler. 

This scene doesn't ring true to you. We get it. It does ring true to 
me. And we can fuss at each other onlist all we want, but no matter 
how many times you say "it's not believable", I'm still going to find 
it believable.
