Anyone else think that a 'Sorry Sizemore, I know/understand your convictions in this matter but it we have to obey our Duty' would help? Or even 'I'm sorry, but I've played through the scenarios and believe it or not this is the one that produces the least casualties.' Platitudes though they may be, Sizemore seems like a nice guy, the sort who'd appreciate the effort.

Might make him hate Parson less, in the long run.

Then again, I guess he could see through them and hate Parson more.

:P
