I'm at work and sober, a computer is the last thing I want to see when I'm drunk.
I was just trying to show that this situation fits dozens of famous thought experiments, and is basically just another way of phrasing the most fundamental question in ethics; "do right and wrong exist?".
It's just incredibly frustrating, not so much here but on other forums and in other situations, where people, who otherwise are bright and catch on quick, abondon all willingness to think, and simply start counting. Even when they do define the basis of one of the most important fields in humanity as simply counting bodies, they don't even have any rhyme or reason to what number is the magic one, and will constantly flip flop on that number when the same question is asked in a different manner.
