It's kinda like three different doctors examine the same guy.  The first one says, "Dude's coronaries are 95% occluded.  He's way overdue for a heart attack."  Second one says "Did you see his MRI?  He's got an aneurysm big as an egg in his brain.  Could cook off at any moment."  Third goes, "WBC are 85,000 and platelets are 20k.  This man's in end-stage leukemia."

I make the following points:

1)  All three doctors could very well have made correct diagnoses.  All three lethal conditions could coexist.

2)  Because any one of the three is lethal in itself, the question of which one "prevails" is mainly of academic interest.

3)  Nevertheless, this fellow's goin' down and the best thing to do is simply start measurin' for a pine box.
