Agreed with all of that. (Not sure if you think we disagree on any of it.)
I assumed you did. I just thought it worth explicitly adding to the discussion that considering only some extraordinarily weird ideas when discussing extraordinarily weird events is a form of bias that seems to run rampant in hypotheticals around here. It's not just the one aspect you mentioned where our confidence should be shaken by such a result.
Ah, gotcha... sure, agreed on all counts.
