Of course it's my understanding of it. That is what we are
discussing here, your understanding of it, my understanding
of it, so on, but there is a text from which we all make our
own understandings of P's definition and this what I was
calling attention to and nothing else.

>From P's essay: 

"There is a long folk history of this figure, the Badass. He
is usually male, and while sometimes earning the quizzical
tolerance of women, is almost universally admired by men for
two basic virtues: he Is Bad, and he is Big. Bad meaning not
morally evil, necessarily, more like able to work mischief
on a large scale. What is important here is the amplifying
of scale, the  multiplication of effect."
