Please note that HP is beyond reason when his girlfriend being such is brought up. He also completely fails to realize his unreasonableness in those instaces. He is ubersmart, but not a perfect rational actor, and of course makes mistakes. That has been established.
Of course. Otherwise Eliezer would be a Bad Writer. There are circumstances where 'heat conduction' is the correct answer, you know.
Good/Bad writer is too crude a distinction.
At this point it's almost funny how everyone seems to think I'm dissing Eliezer. Oh, well. Sarcasm clearly doesn't work in writing.
:(:
What makes you think that others think you're dissing Eliezer?
I didn't downvote you for dissing Eliezer, I downvoted you for that rude and unproductive usage of sarcasm against fellow readers. I got your sarcasm, I just hated it.
I often don't get it, and also hate it.
I think there is room for improvement in the writing of MoR, but it is very very very far away from bad.
Regarding the upper posting: pointing out one flaw does not make the writing bad. It would be just one flaw.
