For two, I have no assurance or knowledge that the Genie is telling me the truth, and there is no feasible way for him to guarantee such. I have no idea of what paradigm he's operating under, so I have to fall back to the old lore of such things, and dealing with such creatures in this manner is a bad fucking idea.
Three, I now know that I exist in a world where magic is fucking real. That changes alot.

No.
