You were presented with a thought experiment of sorts, not an invitation to debate, and I did not take a position before your response, as there was no need to.

After careful consideration and picking up on a few subtle cues, I think the most responsible position for me to take at this moment, is to remain silent, so I don't contribute to swaying any opinions or tarnishing any reputations.

I will say, regardless where one stands on this matter, everyone shares a common goal, and that is to recover from this.
