If it works, it's not hybris, is it?
If this unexploded land mine doesn't go off and kill me the moment it gets jostled, then it's not dangerous, is it?
Well of course the unexploded land mine is not dangerous.
By the time the danger comes to you, it will be an exploding land mine or an exploded land mine.
You say it’s working but they haven’t yet gotten back out of the lift nor have they gotten the lift back out of the water.
Presumably they're not frozen in time. The post was made a day ago, so at least several hours before your comment, and the picture was probably not taken minutes before the post was made. I'd imagine they got out of the water long before any of us were aware that they were ever in the water. And given that the picture isn't accompanied by a second picture of everything in the water or a story about them falling in, it's reasonable to assume that nothing as notable as that happened.
Some say they are still stuck inspecting those ceiling beams to this very day. It would be the safest pool in the region if it weren't for the giant lift on a raft stuck in it.
It's the thought that counts.
If it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid.
If it's stupid and it works, then it's a stupid thing that works.
