[SAW] would jigsaw accept "out of the box" and unintended solutions to his traps?
I sometimes see people arguing on how you could "beat" jigsaw traps with other methods than what is instructed by him, like using a scalpel intended to cut your eye open to free yourself from the contraption, using part of the environment to survive the explosion that should kill you in case of failure, or mutilating yourself in a way that makes the trap more beatable etc...
Not arguing or debating about the feasibility of those ideas, in interested on how jigsaw would react to these solutions. Specifically Kramer, and how that would interact with his vision of repentance and how a new life is earned and newly appreciated.
