Fair enough as far as playing devil's advocate, but the problem is that, even with you doing some heavy mental lifting to earn your No-Prize (it's sad that you've already put more thought into these points than the writers probably put into this entire goddamn storyline), I can still shoot down any arguments on behalf of this shit as easily as I breathe. That's not a slight against you, but it is a sign that, even when somebody DOES apply some respectable amount of brainpower to making this "work," it simply DOESN'T.
