So tell me something. If whether or not it was dark didn't actually enter into things, why did you offer that as an argument?

And surely you realized that most people don't define a "split second decision" or a "reflex" reaction as happening over a period of ten minutes. Why then, did you claim it was a matter of a "split second" and reflex when you knew perfectly well it was not and when, in fact, it didn't actually matter to you whether it was or not?
