The Index of the Giant's Comments V―On a Saner Forum, We Wouldn't Need this Index

[Emanick]

We can second-guess the Giant, but it's always going to be inconclusive. To the question, why did Belkar not ask for a Protection from Law item, there are (at least) two possible answers: #1 because Belkar didn't know any better, or #2 because he didn't want to ask for something illegal. The original poster suggested the answer is #1. Then Rich posted to say the answer is #2. Joke or no joke, this is a valid answer. We have no reason to dismiss it.

Yeah, I too think it's a valid answer and should be kept. The other comments on the cutting board, I'm in favor of jettisoning.
