I originally meant to show how you were imposing an unreasonable demand on 
the text to dispell the notion that Silk might be Typhon's clone - i.e., 
that you were saying that he was, and that the absence of textual support 
was irrelevant because there was no explicit textual refutation. I tried to 
show how one can't reasonably demand a text to explicitly contradict 
something which it didn't say in the first place. But then you took my 
imagined explicit refutation and explained how it was in fact in your view 
not a refutation but a confirmation. Whence now?

NB I don't dispute that Silk may be related to Typhon somehow, and that 
informed the way I wrote the 'quote'. What I don't find convincing at all is 
that he is a clone.

And not even to mention that I'm not sure whether someone as vain as Typhon 
would want a clone in the first place.
