In Response To: Re: The Timeline, Bob, and You (Cybergeek)

: occam's razor - the simplest answer is usually the most accurate one. (i.e.
: Yes, there /could/ have been an isolated gust of wind that *just so
: happened* to pick the gun up off the table, point it at him, and push the
: trigger in enough to fire it. But, it's /far/ more likely that someone
: shot 'im.)

: them hypotheticals you listed is some pretty big 'uns - got any
: non-circumstantial grounding?

: not to mention, if you're a cyborg, you could easily: a) still have a human
: memory that couldn't be rewritten (evidenced from that one term with the
: personals ads, specifically the "<20% machine" part), or b)
: have a mechanical brain, but STILL not have it be rewritable (ie
: computers, even when turned off, have the same information on their hard
: drives as they do when they're on).

: Don't get the wrong idea - i think your stuff is quite plausible. at least,
: intuitively. i just enjoy playing devil's advocate, AND proof-reading (ye
: GODS, i need a life ;)

I am new to this series of games, but from what I understand Occam's razor does not apply in Bungie land.

No proof other than the actual distance to Tau Ceti and the fact that Leela played with the history reccords, and the number of generations of Bob's listed in the manual.

It's all theory. I was hoping others could help, but devil's advocate is ok too. I'm just affraid I am too new to the story to effectively defend my position with members intimate with the entire story.

Can you think of any evidence pro or contra?
