Other than projecting your own fantasies about what
might have led Pynchon to this choice,  how do you
"deal with" it?

That would be "most critics and readers" outside of
Pynchon-l, I'm guessing, seeing as how the discussion
here of MMV begins with - and continues to focus on -
the fact that the story doesn't appear in Slow
Learner. On this point, you're preaching to the wrong
crowd and might better direct your comments to those
critics and readers who haven't dealt with this fact
in their discussions of MMV.
