Count Dooku vs Darth Malgus

Hey, could you do my homework for me? I'll pay you.

I will pay you for sharing your publication with me.

There are no such things as miracles.

Be honest: you don't even understand the question. 😆

Did you ever take a physics class in your life, Legend?

Honestly I'm legitimately surprised that even he could be this stupid, this is incredible.

@Legend That would be like saying you'll pay to read Latin if the grammar is right. How the hell would you know?

It also invalidates Vitiate's feats because they could all be luck.

But please choose English language.

But I will stick with mine. Thank you.

Here comes another freak. person with a modicum of intelligence. I suppose that you have a scientific explanation of the real-life event that I cited?

Legend, that's an embarrassing analogy. Impacts are a very exact science; there may be some variation in who survives what, but physical injuries are pretty predictable. If you had footage of that 17 year old you'd be able to tell that she didn't get hit in a lethal manner or whatever. The luck was that she didn't get impacted as much, not that her body's material properties magically changed. In Kenobi's case, his impacts are documented and easy to see; there's no case for saying it was "chance".

Yes, Ellimist already provided it.

He claims that that girl wasn't impacted as much as the others during the crash. How can he know? Did he get to examine the bodies of all the individuals in that flight to prove his hypothesis?

Here is the entire revelation:

On Christmas Eve 1971, lightning struck Lansa Flight 508 over Peru, causing it to explode. Juliane Koepcke was the only survivor of the 92 people on board after falling two miles strapped in to her seat. Sat in the next seat, her mother's final words were "that is the end, it's all over".

Completely alone in the rainforest, the 17-year-old was covered in deep gashes, and had a broken collarbone and ruptured knee ligaments. However, she had been taught survival skills by her father whilst being raised at a remote jungle research station.

After walking for 10 days, fighting mosquitoes and hunger, she began to float down a large river where she was saved by a passing boat.
Once on board she realised a wound on her arm had become infested with maggots. Remembering her father's advice she poured petrol on it and picked more than 30 maggots out.

In 2000, the documentary maker Werner Herzog released a film about her story, entitled Wings of Hope. Herzog was inspired to make the film after a last-minute change caused him to miss Koepcke's doomed flight.

The same goes for essentially every example you raised.

If you disagree provide an alternate explanation. Are these people are secretly superhuman? Did the hand God intervene? Witchcraft?

Well I guess the thread has gone from Malgus vs. Dooku, to an arm wrestling contest between Anakin and Malgus, to us making fun of Legend's ramblings about magic. 👆

Such is the cancer Legend brings to KMC. 👆

Because she is not dead? If she suffered the same trauma as those who died, she would be dead, as logic dictates. The fact she did not proves she was lucky enough to escape the same level of trauma and therefore survive. Which yes, is an extremely slim possibility, but a possibility nonetheless.

Sweetie, by "luck", Beni does not mean she had divine intervention, he just means some things fell in her favor. That doesn't mean physics were suspended just so that she could survive, Lawl.

Should I take this as a tacit agreement with my POV? I suppose I should.

Likewise we see quite clearly, that Ven Zallow hits that wall head on and goes clean through it, there is no room to debate a miraculous escape here, because we are fully aware of the circumstances.

I never said that she was superhuman. She had survival skills though.

You are taking Ellimist's [assumption] at face-value because you don't believe in luck like him. Fact is that neither you and nor he is in the position to validate his [assumption].

None of us know whether that girl was impacted as much as the others (or not) during that accident. And neither should any self-proclaimed smart@ss attempt to offer an explanation without having examined body of each victim of that accident and the crash site itself.

The girl not just survived the trauma but she managed to sustain herself in the jungle for 10 days in spite of her injuries. She had survival skills and they helped her endure the entire ordeal.

I am just saying that not many can be in her shoes and live to tell the tale.

No because in the instance being discussed we see quite clearly what happens to Kenobi, and he does not escape significant trauma. Instead its described, in detail, how his head collides with a bulkhead and extreme velocities, causing it to buckle.

Which had nothing to do with surviving the crash, only not succumbing to her injuries after it.

There's this thing called Science that has done a better job than any philosophical system ever invented at describing the natural world. You should google it sometime after you acquaint yourself with other basics of the modern world like cars and sanitation. 👆
