Why is there "zero chance" to find the hard drive?
Dear Lord, Is there anything you won't pick a fight about? Do you really not understand rhetorical devices or are you just pretending not to?
Tips are big. Hard drives are small. You're talking about years of rubbish.
Obviously it's not
completely impossible - if it's there at all - but I don't like his odds.
So yes, his chances are above zero. Well done, you "won" this argument.
But they're low enough that it seems to me like he's wasting his time. Which is clearly what I meant.
And I'd be surprised if it still works even if it is found.
