Re: Well, so much for the respect part.

In Response To: Re: Well, so much for the respect part. (Gromit)

: Sure, he could have been lying, and if someone can produce equally convincing
: evidence that he was, I will gladly withdraw my argument (speculation and
: hypothesis are not convincing in my book). I don't begrudge anyone for
: doubting the word of a CEO, no matter how beloved the company is. However,
: on any other question, die-hard fans seem contented to take Bungie's word,
: even to browbeat others with it. Why is this matter any different?

Probably because most of the time, there's very little reason to suspect differently. If Bungie told us that the sky was falling, we'd probably confront them on that, too.

: And even more important, is this the consensus among Bungie fans
: because it is
: has any basis in reality, or because it is comforting?

Because there aren't a whole lot of other explanations — and, of the one we've got, it seems the most likely.

No, we can't prove anything — not short of invading Bungie HQ and lifting their tax forms. But it's speculation, educated speculation — and so is yours :)
