"Actually, now that you point it out, it's obvious that they saw a pretty significant probability of things coming.  Which demands the question of why, if it was already that predictable, all the other gods couldn't predict it too and first-strike Zon-Kuthon instead of waiting for him to attack."

"But that question seems vastly too complicated?  Literally the next thing I'd have to talk about, to walk through my reasoning about that question, is Law of Probability that a dath ilani kid wouldn't get until three years after today's layer, about whether or not gods should ever disagree about predictions like that."

"Can you think of an example much more mundane?  Like, not so much gods as... scrambled eggs."

"Actually, now that you point it out, we already think that the gods on our team saw a dominant probability of that happening.  Which demands the question of why, if it was already that predictable, all the other gods couldn't predict it too and first-strike Zon-Kuthon instead of waiting for him to attack."
