So you think the reasonable person is the one that wants to sit around debating who's fault it is while gas is still pumped into the room is the reasonable person?

We shouldn't damage that gas pump because an underpaid worker installed it? We don't want to be a nuisance! SSSSSSssssssssssssss.....

What if that gas allows everyone in the room to function and when it stops they all either die or fight for the limited alternatives, that fight releases far more gas than would have been released over the next five hours and kills all the people working on opening the window and making alternatives who would have been finished with in the hour?

Your metaphor only works because it misses out all the important bits.
