If there really were OTs, wouldn't they want to perform the space-operalike
service of diverting, frying, or disbelieving in those 27.5 tons enough to
remove the danger for all of Man [not to mention women, other animals,
plants and the rest of life on Teegeeack]?
If they could, think of how many bodies they'd have in the shop the next day! Can you imagine the headlines?! The good PR forever?
Instead, they claim they're not obligated to perform such parlor tricks.
They'd rather congregate at the crash site, giving touch assists and passing
out "Way to Happiness" booklets, and saying "...that piece of space junk
sticking out of your head? Scientology can help you with that."
