Most of that is pretty moot for me since I added time travel (side effect
of DB logging and rollbacks (that I'm still fighting to get performant)).
Finding out exactly what really happened in any instance is then just a
rollback away. Of course,, I guess I could make rollbacks expensive which
would tend to create a trade in possibly less accurate divinations.
Bubba needs to find out who killed Boffo. He can get a seer to walk
into the past to get the guaranteed true data, but that will cost an
enourmous amount. Or, he can buy a couple PI and forensics guys for a
couple days for half the price and get an answer with about an 80%
accuracy probability...
