I find this theory appealing, for very much the reason you show
-- Typhon is very concerned about "the face of command," which
is why he wants a full-head transplant rather than a brain transplant
-- but I'm not prepared to defend the theory, I can't say "this is how
I think it is." It's just an interesting possibility.
Which is how most interpretations of the solar books seem to me,
come to think of it.
