    It might have happened without him eventually, which wasn't really an option at the time. I visited Bletchley Park Museum a few months ago, it doesn't really mention much of what h…

    That's the world being deliberately created though, one where a mediocre but completely believable song is a prompt away. The scope of the side effects are across the entirety of w…
