How odd? Because...well, just because no one challenges your assertion, doesn't mean its affirmed?
Is this like asserting the idea (your character is baddass) as if it's affirmed already, and if no one says otherwise, that feeling of affirmed-ness is never popped? If anyone challenges it, it clearly 'pops' the idea that it was affirmed right from the moment the person said (or even just thought) their PC is badass?
