Crap detector malfunction...

Hi arrell

I've got to wonder what happens in someone's head that such elaborate, melodramatic scenarios can be seen as acceptable? A bit of quantitative self-assessment of likelihood makes it pretty clear such a scenario is contrived and unnecessary, yet somehow this person has taken it on-board as "reasonable".

*sigh*
