Of course the decision to close this thread was absolutely correct, no doubt about it.

My first thought when I saw it, was to report it let nature take its course. But I was also thinking about that eight year old asperger-diagnosed super-IQ kid that I know, who would ask questions like that. Therefore I just attempted to explain the problems with ideas like that and steer him into the right direction.

I know, it's a conflict but education is the primary objective and I felt that this kid of mine would be very hurt with closing his thread.

Thoughts?

It was the following statement by the OP in response to other members trying to remind him of the rules that sealed the case for the lock (at least for me):

This is exactly the place where we should discuss wild ideas - new ideas - interesting ideas.

That is not how the PF works.
