Funny, I’ve got the opposite impression—that Eliezer was setting up to use Sirius’ story as an example of how the obvious explanation is not always right and how reality is allowed to be weird and present you with evidence leading to wrong conclusions.
I’d like to see that. Just because I really didn’t like it when Bill got messed over like that.
I didn’t mean to suggest that it was unrealistic. It is a far more likely interpretation of events and a rather clever observation. I just didn’t like it. It make me sad. :)

Sometimes the world is just cruel for no reason.

I know. But I thought Eliezer may have been trying to make a deliberate point, and I wanted to draw it out.
