Hypothetical questions are fine, but this just seems way out there.
If Lens had something to say against another program, I think he'd be better served using his OWN nick in the first place, so the question is moot in the first place.

Did I say Lens would steal a nick?
I might have been drunk when I posted this, but I have no recollection of ever saying that Lens would steal someone's nick. It was a simple example.
The whole reason it is called a hypothetical question (like you mentioned) is because it is hypothetical....
Hypothetic \Hy`po*thet"ic\, Hypothetical \Hy`po*thet"ic*al\, a. [L. hypotheticus, Gr. ?: cf. F. hypoth['e]tique.]
Characterized by, or of the nature of, an hypothesis; conditional; assumed without proof
