Same... I think it would do the otherway around, if in any case at all. I mean imagine Einstein being alive for a long time or any other great scientist.
There was an interview like that. And Gosho seems to be fond of hard science fiction (look at his short stories) so it's a possible theory.Anyway, Gosho loves doing cliches lol. I mean the childhood friend turning into serious relationship, murder motives and stuffs. So, i think it's possible for Gosho repeats to repeat the same thing.
But still the theory doesn't convince me at all. There are still things that doesn't add up and I feel like there's more deeper motive or purpose.
