You can go round and round on almost anything and no "what-if" scenario can be proven true because no evidence can support it. Again they accomplish nothing. Iif you can't make you point without "what-if" you've lost.I don't answer "what-if" questions because they are pointless.
What-if questions are not pointless.
They can point out inconsistencies that may make a person wonder if they've chosen a position for the wrong reason.
And ... in this instance, it was posed as a what-if question to see if it would matter to you or anyone else when you found out it is true, at least statistically.
There may be reasons you wouldn't want to change a certain position even when you are shown that truth, but we need to get past this hurdle first.
