Yeah, I know, it’s a hypothetical excercise, but why such a bad
hypothetical excercise is always trotted out, I don’t know.

Probably because “‘An it harm none, do what thou will” is too pagan for
y’all.

Here I am a closet animist and you think I don’t know the source of that quote
and you think that it is too pagan for me? :-)
In any case, it’s not the harm, but the immediate impending action that will
cause harm that is so specific one can’t wait on it: i.e. it’s still a silly
scenario because your example isn’t reasonable (nor did you technically get the
scenario right).
