      It isn’t pointless if you wanted to poison someone with psilocybin and had a misconception about the LD50. It’d be a really useful, helpful fact, actually. So, uhh. Thanks OP. I almost made a terrible mistake.

        I wish my enemies were as cool as you. We probably wouldn’t be enemies though so whats the arc even at that point.
