But at the same time too, remember the last conclave lasted only a day and I sense that B16 became Pope only because Blessed JP2 from his death bed asked him to take the honor, but that is me.

The last conclave had four ballots.

It took only 3 to elect Pius XII.

Are you saying that John Paul II had somehow designated Benedict XVI as his successor?
