I'm assuming he wouldn't turn down an atomic bomb, regardless of how it works, to incinerate some Jews.
IANMTU, a lady I worked with at a defense contractor did not believe science understood how the sun shines.
She became silent when I told her it was the same science that makes hydrogen bombs work. She never conceded the point, but I could tell pointing out nukes utilize the strong nuclear force to explode just the same way that force is the ultimate source of the suns power.
Hell, Harry Truman managed to get it right when talking about zapping Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I hate to be pedantic but the harrier jump jet and that new US fighter can stop in the air and hover.

I was being metaphorical, not literal... it's a translation issue... you're taking me out of context...
Oh sod it - you'll burn in hell.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Too late - I already played the hell card. So I automatically win.
