I mean, yes, it was probably an accident. But it sure is convenient...
Well my point is that finding motives alone is not evidence of foul play. At best it's a place to start an investigation, not an end. I mean "isn't it convenient" is basically conspiracy theory language. I don't claim to know that they didn't do this to be ironic or whatever, I just want to point out that it's not very solid reasoning. Such is my burden.
"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)
