It does, doesn't it?

Hopefully I'm not about to learn a big lesson in humility, I would be less confident but I haven't seen or thought of any other plans that satisfy my criteria.

You should probably not even have a 90% probability for satisfaction of your criteria (the full exoneration of Hermione in the eyes of the public). I'm probably assigning less than 50% probability on that being the actual end result given how well she was framed -- any specific path to that conclusion should therefore be even less likely.

So you're 90% certain that if you are incapable of imagining something, Eliezer can't either?

Wow.

Not Elizer, just Harry.

Still wow.
