Let's say someone asserts that there is a ticking time bomb planted at some location, and there is a dispute between people on the matter. As long as the dispute remains, does that prevent the bomb from exploding?

Idk what you want to say with that. There is no bomb or if there is may be you should call the police. Im only saying that there may be a procedure for something but outcomes are no longer possible. One could possibly know how to catch butterflies but he/she could actually catch them any longer if they had become extinct.

I'm not saying so much as I am demonstrating how a person behaves when a point is raised that conflicts with their presentation of reality. In this case, you dodged the question - in my experience there are < 10 standard behaviors, and this is one of them.

Sounds like opportunism rather than serious search for truth.

Speaking of truth: it may sound like opportunism, but is it actually?
