It worked with Daffy Duck: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Yeggs

In the cartoon, a gun was pointed at Daffy's head - and he managed to lay a golden egg.

Can a miracle be justified?

We're talking about life limitating life, not life imitating art. The thing about daffy is.. he wasn't real

The joke was that under extreme duress, and individual (or a team) might produce a miracle.

The ethical question is: if it's a genuine miracle (say, a discovery or invention that breaks new ground or was previously thought to be impossible), can the duress be justified?
