Not at all since those are your words, not mine. Don't worry Gerry. Nobody thinks
you are stupid. And "lying" is such a harsh word. I think playacting is much nicer.
If you are worried about your staged pose being too apparent at this time, that 
could be a legitimate concern.
 
It isn't really your disagreement which I would consider playacting. It is more your
assertion that such a clear and understandable idea as James' is so ridiculous as to be 
out of the realm of possible interpretations. There is a little part of your brain which 
knows that is a clever and insightful idea and that it may well represent what Wolfe intended.
But there is  another part of your brain which, in the heat of battle, refuses to allow you 
to acknowledge that in writing. Hence the act. C'mon. We are all friends here! A little
truth never hurt anyone.
