Now this is disturbing: she assumes by default that you are suggesting to freeze her alive, "to see the future". Not the kind of "click" we'd be looking for, "everything is possible" is actually worse than absurdity heuristic-enabled epistemic hygiene.

I think her default understanding was more like "Kevin is really morally depraved and probably not serious anyways".

It was funnier in the real world; I sucked away most of the humor with my written retelling.
