Yeppers.

And in this specific case, literally neither of you know for sure what really happened. You keep mentioning how unlikely that a cig could burn up a cruiser, which nobody disagrees with. But that is speaking in a general sense. And we are not talking about that. We are talking about this specific vessel and why it got blown up. You are no more right or wrong than Chopsticks.


Want to know what happens on a warship when something flammable (like a fuel oil leak) is discovered? Even before a fire is set? The whole ship goes to battle stations and damage control parties will be tasked with cleaning it up before it even becomes a problem. We drilled for that all the time. Is there a mathematical chance that this is what transpired? Of course. But it is so close to zero, especially in light of evidence of a hostile action taking place, that the odds of that actually occurring boggle the mind.

I am not out to prove Chopstick's theory. I am pointing out that Santara's theory could be wrong.


It's so unlikely that it can be dismissed until there's more evidence to support the fringe theory. I'm sure defense attorneys would love to have you on their jury.

"Highly improbable" is not the same as "impossible". You keep telling me how unlikely that the ship was blown up by a cig, which I never disagree with. I am just telling you you shouldn't be mocking chopsticks like that when the fact of the matter is that you have zero proof what really sunk that ship.

It appears that you need to work on your inference skills.

Why would I believe the .1% event over the 80% event? What evidence do you have that makes the cigarette theory on equal footing?

I don't need to infer anything. Your tears are all over the place.

I will mock him because he has a vested interest in downplaying any military capability of Ukraine whatsoever. He's a serial liar, and he absolutely does not get any benefit of the doubt.

Even if you think you lost, there's a possibility that you won.
