Interesting. Didn't know that. Thanks!

When engaging in a discussion of ideas with others, having the final 

word on issues of "logic" and "truth" seems too onerous a burden for

any one person to claim. If a person really did have access to such ultimate

rightness, I would hope they would use this gift in the service of all 

humanity rather than just in a Gene Wolfe discussion board.
