** It may not matter to Cobb, but it sure as heck matters to his children. If he really is still stuck in limbo, then the real James and Phillipa are now orphans and will probably grow up thinking that their father killed their mother. |

*** The main danger of limbo is what it does to your mind. However, Cobb and Mal survived 50 years in limbo emotionally unharmed {{spoiler|except for Mal's accidental inception}}. If Cobb's content with his dream kids, it'll keep his mind intact. Then in the real world, someone will realize, "Gee, Cobb's been sleeping quite a while, hasn't he?" and either give him a kick or go down and get him, but because [[Magic |

* Alternate theory: {{spoiler|It doesn't matter, still, but it's because it's Cobb's dream at the end. Remember, the point of the totem was to make sure you're not in somebody else's dream, but it doesn't matter if you're in your own, because your own mind knows the weight and feel of your totem, and will make it fall. So even if the top falls, it means nothing to Cobb if he's still in his own dream.}} |

** Cobb would never know if he were in his own dreams or the real world because if he was in a dream and wished subconsciously for the top to fall, it would. The top actually doesn't have any meaning, so the result at the end doesn't matter. Alternately, since the ending cuts off before we see whether or not the top will fall, [[Tethercat Principle|it never does]]. The top is spinning forever and will never stop, thus Cobb can never escape from the dream. |
