First, who the fuck is an expert on teleporting to Waffle House?
Second, why the fuck are the experts “dubious” instead of incredulous or openly condescending? JFC, c’mon experts, do better!
I thought the use of “dubious” was hilarious. It’s quite an understatement, like, “Yeah, that may not have happened,” avoiding calling him a liar directly, but conveying that it’s extremely unlikely.
Who knows, they don’t wanna be wrong in ruling out the impossible, because what if just a rift opened up and pulled him to waffle house. Better not wanna state facts before investigating :O
