That's cause they're both Dr. You have to know a lot to be a Dr.

Well, this looks like as good a place as any other to ask one simple question.

Aside from Dorcas-is-Severian's-grandmother (which as I have said doesn't 
even look that 'Wolfean' a 'puzzle' to me), have all those years of 
discussion produced anything concrete regarding any of the mysteries in any 
of the books? I mean - something which isn't pointed out and yet after 
someone uncovers it, everybody agrees it must be so? (Rajan-is-Silk is, I 
think, pointed out several times.)
