Oh, my goodness, no, it wasn't. Not at all. You gave only two options, neither > of which I agree with. I could only answer by > proposing more options.

You could also have answered "I don't know," as I did. > > But what is the issue of whether the world could be > > saved irrelevant *to*, in your view? > > The goal -- whatever it is -- is irrelevant to > how one creates or fails to create right means > to achieve it.
