OK, but what parts of 'fairly cinematic' or 'We have no evidence of this' (and even some evidence against it mentioned in my post) leads you to think that you need to beat me over the head with something that I
already know - that while physically possible to have made, it probably never existed?
If you hate the thought of it existing even in a more cinematic game, just say that.
EDIT: That might not be your intention, but that's how it looks from here. That or you both
heavily misread my intentions.
