What? I do believe you are accusing me of putting up some sort of weird defense and I want to know why you think that's the case. You already explained the nature of this thing, and it sounds stupid. Seriously, why are you accusing me of lying? If I was to lie, why on Earth would I lie in that ONE specific way and only that?
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
