I LIKE subtlety. It flatters my ego if I see it, and if I don't, I don't know that I'm missing it.

Data point. I started this thread to complain about the blood of Atlantis. The conclusion is based on a long chain of conjunctive reasoning that basically feels like an asspull. Harry has absolutely no good reason to believe something that complex.
