That's the difference between me and just some random asshole. I actually know what I'm talking about. Which is kind of the point.

Why do you have to "note" every idea (not to be rude - legitmately wondering)? If I told you Control was a magical talking rainbow space dragon, would you note that too? Technically it could happen, but it's not plausible at all. There's a difference between possibility and plausibility. Everything is possible, technically, but that gets you nowhere. If everything is possible there's no point in having reason or justification for any kind of speculation. It wouldn't really matter who people say Control is, but because they're all "technically possible", it qualifies.

However, just because it's possible doesn't make it plausible. Sure, it COULD be Sister, Vic, another Freelancer, the Meta (shudder) - but is saying a name really all it takes? At the end of the day, regardless of any "reasoning" - it's still noted. You may as well just look at a list of characters and choose any one of them. Because it could always happen. Everything could always happen. But by using what we know from the show (or out of the show with Miles/Burnie conformation), along with logic and deduction and shit like that, you can see whether someone is plausible to be Control or not. It's way better to at least try to narrow it down instead of piling up more bullshit. That's pretty much why I complain about these kinds of ideas - they're just not plausible.

And hell yeah I'm a hawk. I should make a picture.
