Perhaps this is splitting hairs, but to state that you "agree" that 
"Slothrop is actively resisting the effect" of the injection suggests that 
*someone else* proposed that idea.  Was this not *your* assertion a couple 
of days ago, that Slothrop is actively ("deliberate" was your word) 
attempting to undermine the doctor's attempts with the truth serum by 
somehow manufacturing a memory under the drug's effects?

Just trying to clarify *your* position, is all.
