Can they rush in after the first two words, before you say “not”? Can they enter if they stuff their ears before they hear the final word?

    A lot of people here are telling you that the answer is ‘no’ because the vampires must respect your true intent or rely on trickery to get you to willfully invite them in.

    But the real reason is ‘no’ because vampires aren’t real.

      Answering the question necessitates engaging with the premise. Refusing to do so and acting smug just makes you look like a dick.

      Sure Mr Suspiciously Pale Human, whatever you say, you still can’t come in even if vampires don’t exist.

      But there’s one asking to enter so it turns out you’re wrong about that.

      If someone pulls a gun on me I can’t declare “bullets aren’t real” and expect to endure being shot without taking harm.

      I guess we could ask OP to try saying “you may not” and see whether he survives to post confirmation that it worked?
