TRP and accuracy

[Paul DiFilippo]

If, as SF critic John Clute among others, has suggested,
the tactic of "misprision"--a deliberate kind of intuitive
misapprehension or stretching of an author's works--can be a 
valuable critical tool, then why can't _authorial misprision_
work too:  an author's deliberate misapprehension of reality,
transmuting it to something that is _truer than true_?  And hey,
don't forget, TRP himself told us in the SLOW LEARNER intro
that "ignorance is a territory with its own map."
