- +matthew brust __ "Is it possible that thousands of people were in on a hoax?" - why would you say "thousands"? Why does it need to be "thousands"?
- It seems like you're arbitrarily choosing what sounds like a "really big number" just so you can say, _"But that's ridiculous so it must be real!"_
- Why "thousands"? How in crikey's name are you imagining it would require *thousands*?!?!
- >>> *Why would there need to be any or many more people involved than the actual count of alleged "survivors" themselves?* <<<
- __
- Let's suppose "thousands" needed to be involved, so what?
- Since you played with numbers to conform to a certain belief let's see if we can play with numbers to confirm to the opposite belief.
- If you believe there are 7 billion people on the planet then 1,000 people represents a mere 0.0000142% of the entire population.
- *Are you suggesting not even the tiniest fraction of a tiny fraction of a single percent can ever "be in on a hoax"?*
- _That's absurd._
- It's certainly no less absurd as there needing to be "thousands" involved.
- __
- You have simply found a way to *always rule out* the possibility of an event being fabricated because *with every event* you can just say, _"But thousands would need to be involved - that's impossible - therefore it must be real!"_
- It's like saying "My son didn't steal your car - that's impossible - he's not capable of that!"
- *You'd be surprised what people are capable of doing _when they want to get something done._
- __
- Unfortunately - *you have simply stopped thinking at the very first "objection" that has come to your mind that seems like a "deal breaker".*
- I've heard the tired and flawed response "but too many people would need to be involved therefore it's real" nonsense a hundred times before so it's unlike you thought of it yourself.
- If you got it from somewhere else then all you're doing is repeating the flawed thinking of others. If you came up with it for yourself - you simply stopped thinking.
- The idea that "thousands would need to be involved" is not an argument against an event being fabricated.
- If you could justify there *needing* to be "thousands" then you would have more of a leg to stand on (puns are always intended) - but even then - whatever you come up still requires that 0.0000142% of the total population cannot ever "be in on a hoax".
- And that's absurd.
- __
- You *want* it to be real and so you're only allowing yourself to see it that way.
- You claim you're not "100% certain" but really you are for _you've *trapped yourself* into only being able to see one way._
- __
- Nothing we saw suggested it *couldn't* have been a fabricated event whereas a great many things suggested it was.
- And so if it wasn't a genuine event then it doesn't matter about your "thousands" because *somehow it was done*.
- Just as a magician's trick may appear wholly convincing to the audience *that doesn't make it any less of a trick*.
- If something is a magic trick - it remains a magic trick. It doesn't suddenly become real because it fooled you - no matter how impossible or elaborate to the audience it may have seemed.
- You will need to find a different objection than "thousands would need to be involved".
- And if you can be honest - at least with yourself - then you'd also admit you're *exaggerating* _somewhat!_
