(nods) Makes sense.
If I offered to, and had the ability to, alter your brain so that something that already existed in vast quantities -- say, hydrogen atoms -- made you indescribably happy, and you had taken appropriate precautions to rule out the possibility that I wasn't very friendly towards you and that this wasn't a trap, would you agree?
Sure! That sounds great. Thank you. :-)
