Oh. How foolish of me to fail to realize that "getting all keys" obviously means "all keys are now piled on one's head." And how foolish of me also to assume that "most dangerous" and "most likely to cause one's own death" were not synonymous. You're right; being crushed under a pile of keys is *way* more dangerous than having enough weaponry to destroy the entire world piled up in one big heap (granting your initial "big pile" premise).

You didn't really think about *much,* did you.
