In a similar vein. I had to have a conversation with a colonel in the air force about that same thing... what finally got through is when I said

"if you go out and get 9 women pregnant, you don't get a baby in a month. You still get to wait 9 months for that baby and all their siblings."

The silence on the other end of the phone was hilarious...The range safety officer chimed in and stated that he did not recommend trying to bypass the fixed test time "that way"...
