The goalposts seem to have moved irrecoverably.
The Dementor can try to undercut Harry now, and die for it, or it can play for time, hope he stumbles on another obstacle, and perhaps survive. The latter seems saner to me, assuming that Dementors are not overflowing with empathy for their bretheren(or that they're simply lacking in plotting ability). Which part of this is goalpost-moving?
Exception to general claims countered by more proof for specific claims (which are trivial and not denied.)
For instance I still maintain this:
Yet clearly would not apply it in the specific case where a dementor is guarunteed to fail in the short term. ie. When their threat reamains at 100% and has not been reduced.
