You're asking too many difficult questions, I only have time to answer a few for now:
Are you familiar with the Schrodinger's cat concept? Until you open the box, you cannot know the outcome, correct? So, while the box is closed, the cat is? Alive AND dead at the same time. 2 options, both occur at the same time while the box is closed. Denying one at the cost of the other is wrong, both options are AS real.
Same here. The conversation can turn out in an infinity of ways, including my way, and until you have the conversation, all ways occur at the same time, must I stress, including my way so technically, I am not wrong for making that assumption outside the conversation. It is a possibility that occurs as we speak. Speaking it does not make it more probable, it only stresses its reality.

Because the child does not have the mental capacity to understand the truth and the child will mistaken the truth for something darker in a failed attempt to put the pieces together.

Nowhere do I state such a thing. I was speaking through the mouth of a child who's dopamine cycle was not altered by endless schooling and work hours. Humans are genetically programmed to adapt to misery. If the brain of a 6 y.o. child experienced your adult reality it would feel like a naloxone injection due to the lack of adaptation of the brain to aggressive outside stimuli.
I was only stressing the fact that children should be left out of adult business because they do not have the mental strength to deal with it properly.
