Why is it that a question is posited, die or not die? And then assume that not die is the only logical answer. And when someone, eg me, says that die is the logical result of a risk/reward proposition, the "pro-life" people get upset because someone disagreed.
Remember the short story? Behind door number one was the beautiful maiden. Behind number two was the tiger. Which to choose? One resulted in eternal bliss. The other in instant death. A very real and very powerful story. Albeit in words on the printed page rather than images in a computer game.
Push rock, die! Pull rock, live and be rewarded.
