In VL, all the characters are motivated by self-interest. Should BV act
like a programmed machine, a robo-cop? He applies a  "scientific"
theory, reading faces, but he's a lot like the rest of the characters in
the book, obsessed with an idea.  He has fears, passions, he bleeds if
you cut him. He's not the road runner. The quality of mercy, justice. 


Caricatures? Not quite. Powerless Zoyd? Powerless Frenesi? not really.
The novel doesn't permit these readings.  not if we deal with the
characters in the book and read every page it doesn't.
