You're being very unfair to my argument and implying that I think the poster is innocent.

Maybe I was unfair to you as well; if so, I apologize.

The reason I brought up that he might've been in the process of installing a flat surface was that your comment mentioned that attempting to sleep in your car without installing a flat surface would be too uncomfortable.

It's completely reasonable for me to, for example, want to convert my car and be in process of determining:

1. Is it reasonable to sleep on a bumpy surface? Let me try it out for a couple of night first. 2. Know that a bumpy surface is uncomfortable, and be in the process of figuring out a solution, e.g. what to buy.

Of course, in this specific case, those are irrelevant because Hans Reiser never intended to sleep in his car. But, they are perfectly valid reasons why one might remove a car seat without then immediately having converted it to a comfortable bed.
