Contrived isn't a concrete term; there is no defining probability line where you can say "this is not contrived, this is slightly contrived, this is contrived, this is very contrived, this is totally contrived, I didn't think it was possible to get a situation this contrived," lines between those are essentially matters of opinion. You have a different opinion on where such lines ought to be drawn. I have a slight tendancy for understatement. No matter.
Yea OK.  Read Gozra's reply. |
