I admit was being obscure so I'm rather impressed that you followed my reasoning - especially since it included a reference that you may not be familiar with. I kept it obscure because I wanted the focus to be on my confusion while minimising slight to taw.
Actually this whole post-thread has been eye opening and or confusing and or surprising to me. I've been blinking and double taking all over the place: "people think?", "that works?", etc. What surprised me most (and in a good way) was the degree to which all the comments have been a net positive. Political and personal topics so often become negative sum but this one didn't seem to.
As a newcomer to LW, it has certainly impressed me. I've never before seen a discussion where the topic was "Is this guy we all respect a loon?" and the whole discussion is filled with clever arguments and surprising connections being drawn by all concerned - most particularly by the purported/disputed loon himself.
I wouldn't have believed it possible if I hadn't participated in it myself.
