Because you know there are some academics and scientists who'd love to be able to find out "what happened if X happened instead?" the same way there are some who ask, "what is life like on other planets?"

BRAD: Sure.
He looks at the screen again
BRAD (reading off the screen): Nope. We have a Chris Brand, we got a Craig Roberts, and an Alexis Monday.
Alexis perks up.
ALEXIS: Oh, that’s me. Alexis Mundi. You know. The famous… Read More
