Is it ~possible~?
Hmmmm, lemme think about it....
Possible, in a strictly theoretical sense. But not very ~probable~.
I can understand why you might want to believe that. The probable alternative is pretty disgusting, isn't it?
I defer to your judgement. None of us are directly involved in this case anyway.

It's not wishful thinking, though innocent motives are always better. The 'probable alternative' is completely disgusting, I never questioned that.
