Whoever is unable to maintain civil language, whoever can't face a question

I have no argument here. I was puzzled first by James apparently not 
remembering Hy-as-Fava having been discussed at painful length not so long 
ago, then by his apparent uncertainty as to Pig's language. Should Gene 
Wolfe have done something like that in one of his books, it would constitute 
'clues' to some mystery.
