So the dude that reviews The Cold Solution seems to whine that "solution" stories all miss the point of the original story, which he feels is a "trolley problem" story, and the whole point is the terrible dilemma. Unfortunately for him, the story "The Cold Equations" is not a thought experiment, it is an attempt to tell a story. Thought experiments are allowed to be stupid and make no sense--they are intended to challenge you to think. Stories that are stupid and make no sense just annoy readers, they don't challenge them--except maybe to write fanfiction fixing the stupid. "The Cold Equations" has too many plotholes and idiotic circumstances to sit well with readers who know anything about the real world.
