You can have any opinion that you think you can support just like a science report. JT may have thought about it differently or that is the way that it happened on his Worldline, not Ours. But again, how would anyone know? It may be building up to that, because of the News in the World.
Again, it can be anyone's guess, but in the end, do you support having one of those?
I do not, and again, it may not be up to me, but then there may be an answer somewhere out there, if one wants to keep abrease of the News all the time. I vote for casual talk over pondering the unknown forever. As I said to Titor once something similiar:
One human may open up the door and say it looks like rain, and ask the other human if they grab an umbrella. The other human could reply to the first human that opened up the door, and state that if there are no humans around to know if it will rain, then he could not state that it may rain.
