No. I'd like to think I'm not that idiotic; I know a trick when I see it.

But I wonder - if that faith ends up leading to someone else here being killed, who would take responsibility for that?

Fair enough on both counts, I suppose.

Thank you for that. I do appreciate knowing what's going on. When this occurs again, will you be unavailable for questions afterwards once more?

Reasonable enough. I'm glad to know what to expect, at the very least.

I'll be glad if I don't have to tell you I told you so, later.

[a small pause.]

I do think your faith in people is admirable, for what it's worth, even if it's unrealistic and dangerous.

this does sound like she means it as a sincere compliment]

[thinks about that for a moment.]

I do think I agree with you there. I also imagine that you wouldn't have done this in the first place if you really believed people would necessarily pick a darker path when presented with the option, correct?

Ah, I see. You're placing me in a dangerous situation and not even giving a hint as to who I should watch out for.
