What's the shortest game that ends with just the two kings left on the board? It could be possible as early as White's 17th move.

In other words you've given no thought to it at all.

If you don't take your own topic seriously, why should I?

I have given though to it, and concluded that it's far beyond my ability to come up with anything close to the shortest possible solution, which is why I've posted it here to see if anyone else wants to take a shot at it. And if you don't want to talk about it, then don't.
