Not much to argue in that case, is there? With how things have been looking lately, we could all die tomorrow.
[ Someone would have to be deliberately obtuse to deny the signs. ]
And yes, I would. Destroying a soul is an extreme act that could have unknown cascading effects I'm in no hurry to find out about, even if it doesn't cost us a victory altogether.
[ Ryouma recognises he's getting into speculation — which he never likes to do — but in this case, he feels it has a greater purpose. ]
That's vague, so I'll give you another example. We don't understand Oblivion, but it doesn't seem passive. We could be providing more footholds for dangerous entities in this world every time another soul gets destroyed. What will rush to fill the void Quetzalcoatl left in existence?
Anyway, it's not fair to shoot down an idea without offering one in return, so I say we should be looking at why the margin of victory is so narrow in the first place or where we could do better, like how the door was basically held open for them in Kowloon. We can be angry about what's been done and taken from us, but we can't be angry about the fact that they took advantage of the opportunities handed to them. If we don't learn from these mistakes, we'll just keep on paving the way for our own demise.
Let's fix the problems in our own house before we worry about anyone else.
