I did NOT mean to be rude, but apologize for the offense taken.

I was simply making the point that TRP explicitly gives us a complex vision related to The Evacuation, and an empty head related to pissing. 

I admit it may be a bit of a stretch.

As for knowing when we're barking up the wrong tree -- for writers' intentions, we can't, unless the writer says so specifically somewhere. And then they may be lying. 

I say enjoy the barking and don't worry about which tree it is.
