You're missing the point completely.

You do not actually know if "paradoxical consequences" are a thing. Logic might, like everything we believe right now, turn out not to be how the world works.

Stopping yourself from doing an experiment because "current knowledge makes it seem impossible" is how science never advances.

    I have no idea what you're arguing against, or what point you think I've missed.

    Have you assumed that I have discounted other models because of the model I chose for my comment? Bah! You assume too much.

    I did not state that doing the experiment was a bad thing; my comment was in humor even!

    Well, usually if people call something "ridiculous" they mean that it's so bad that it's funny, i.e. not worth considering.

    In any case, I'm not really arguing either, you assume too much!
