It was a little weirder than that.  Arisia (the female GL in question) was, I think, the mental equivalent of a 14 year old human girl, but her planet's orbit was two Earth years, so she tried to argue with Hal that was actually 28.  Hal wasn't having it.  Then it turned out that Arisia's subconscious desires to…
