Bait the hook, then reel them in. You still haven't delineated the 
relevant differences between "Inire is Rudesind" and "Dorcas is 
Severian's grandmother". So this gives me a chance to show the value of 
wild speculation.

There's no reason to get Talmudic on the difference between your 
proposed standard and my question. I am only asking "How does viewing 
the old man as an aquastor resolve the apparent connection between him 
and Rudesind?" Also, "How does the old man being an aquastor resolve the 
issue posed by Mr Berman that the old man might be  female?"

What I am not asking is "What difference would it make if the old man 
and Rudesind were connected?" or "If the old man is an aquastor, then 
what?" Because in these instances the question is the answer: "The old 
man and Rudesind might be connected" and "The old man might be an aquastor".
