He supports his theory using conditional reasoning. He suggests: “Suppose the atomic bomb had been dropped on, say, Leopoldville in the Congo, instead of Hiroshima. Initially a large number of people would have died instantly; then the wounded survivors, forced to accept total surrender, would continue to die for many months to come." Leopoldville being such a small and underdeveloped town, it would not have the ability to survive such a monstrous attack and when the victors go to investigate the triumph they will express the worst nausea of ​​their lives and the terrifying images will haunt them for eternity, causing many nights sleepless. . He relates this scenario to the Nazi concentration camps on how severe the consequences will be to strengthen his theory. Another way he uses conditional reasoning to support his thesis is by using the story of Noah in the Bible and comparing it to President Truman and the bomb. He confirms that he knows very little about the Bible; however, he knows that God would not send the deadly flood if he did not trust Noah enough to allow him to rebuild society. It suggests that if Noah was lazy and did not respect God's wishes, God would not be able to forgive himself for destroying everything and everyone; therefore, President Truman had no confidence in the survival of Hiroshima, he will not forgive himself or sleep
