Just because the following posters decided to change up the perameters of the question doesn't mean the first question still doesn't apply. I responded based on the question asked, not on some hypothetical construct.
Just because you implied a "present tense", that does not mean everyone else did as well. It was not implicitly defined as "present tense" only.
The thread starter did not specify a time constraint, therefore it was up to the interpretation of the following posters, in which they clarified their stance. There were no parameters set up by the initial poster, so a hypothetical construct is indeed valid based on the interpretation of the poster, if they so stated their constructs... which most did. Since the entire situation is hypothetical anyway, how can you disregard some hypotheticals, and not others? If anything, the hypotheticals construed using parameters (even those determined by individual posters in their arguements), should be given more merit than a post lacking parameters altogether...
But, at this point, it is simply arguing semantics and interpretation.
