I'm not sure we're reading the same story.
My comment was made before the chapter was posted with the explicit statement by Bones that the catatonia was increasing, which I accept; I stand by my characterization of previous chapters indicating any progression as extremely subtle...
My point was intended the opposite way: It seems to me that many plot-relevant details are extremely subtle.
Well, then we get into other issues. For example, Quirrelmort. If that's true, then we have an extremely non-subtle massively plot-relevant point, and if it's false, then Eliezer has laid so many red herrings we can trust little or nothing not explicitly shown or stated.
I did not intend to imply that no plot-relevant points are non-subtle.
