I think this has the making of a discussion that might lead nowhere, as I am very certain we both can find good arguments for our differing points of view. We'd probably end up making arguments for what makes more sense in a universe that is completely fictional, which makes the whole discussion a wee bit tricky to begin with. Not that I don't have a few arguments up my sleeve, but I'll leave it to you to decide if you would have us get into more details and/or arguments, or if we should leave it as it is.
