[quote=@DarkwolfX37] How are you not realizing that I don't have to in order for one of my characters to? You've done it before too. I've never said that it's more technologically advanced. This is the third or fourth time I've had to say that. The strongest efforts over ten years does not, is not, and cannot be something that trillions of years of equally strong effort would not have found ways around. You're also not even defending the planet, you're defending the universe, which in much, much more difficult to create. You're trying to say that 2 is better than 15 because it's more effective in some impossible nebulous way. [/quote] Because you have to know in order for your explanations to work. Your characters probably don't know either. Right now, you're using a superiority argument that doesn't hold water. Yet you're using the advancement argument.
