"I'm sorry ma'am. Your son is dead, but the drug dealer is FASCINATING. No you won't be able to tell."
So the point WAS to just make stuff up to excuse bad behavior!
So I've taken a deep dive into the mind of the local fentanyl dealer. I feel every emotion he has. I'm motivated by his motivations. He doesn't want to go to jail for dealing fentanyl. He doesn't care about the people who die from using his fentanyl. What was the point of this exercise?
watch as I undermine my own counterexample!
