You Say Soames, I Say Scott

Veddy, veddy interesting.  And feel free (as if you
need my leave to do so, but ...) to demonstrate to me
how my argument was inconsistent.  Sometimes (often?)
"close" reading serves not to clarify, not to close
off meaning, but, rather, to blur it, to open it up. 
Me, I've no difficulty "tweening" with reference to
the (presumably) extraneous (physics, history), but I
emphasize that that is precisely what I'm, we're,
everyone is, doing.  That passage seems, however, nigh
unto purposefully to put its readers precariously in
such a (super)position.  But I'll wait for yr
counter-argument ...
