Interesting take on what's been said.  I'm not sure why you  interpret it 
that 
way, as I don't recall anyone saying that those who  don't find Wolfe 
appealing were lazy or unwilling to work.  Perhaps  it was hidden in the 
text, 
a careful blend of hints and clues that  requires multiple readings to ferret 
out the hidden slur.  I would  have thought that reading Wolfe might have 
sensitized me to such  subtleties, but apparently I wasn't sufficiently 
perceptive to notice this  subtext.



Yes, we must be sensitive to the "unreliable narrator" technique ...
