Umm...well, anything is possible, but it would be a pretty vague metaphor in
any case. And it would be especially obscure in this case because "love" was
not the point of the panel or Wolfe's statement and since he seemed to be
presuming that most of the audience had not read AEG. In every other point
in this particular discourse, he summarized AEG flatly, without poetic
flourish. I failed to detect any poetic flourish in any of his statements on
the panels I sat in on.
