a) I can see the dog being able to sniff out plastics and such, but how does it tell 
which disks are pirated movies?

b) Wouldn't it be more likely to be able to tell, by smell, which movies were 
simply bad?

c) Does the name "Paddy" increase the counterfeit discrimination ability?

d) How far did it have to dig to uncover the cache?

e) Was the cache buried by a prior dog without counterfeit discrimination 
capabilities?

f) Where did the officials say that disks were destined for on Thursday?

It is collectively understood, although never stated, that the
pub-argument ... is essentially an enjoyable game.  No strong
views or deeply held convictions are necessary for pub regulars
to engage in lively disputes--in fact, they would be a hindrance.
