Allow me to argue with at least one of U-2.

Ripping, yes I like it.

I find at the core of "V." an essential ugliness I can't shake off,  
making it hard to continue reading "V." This earlier ode to entropy  
expresses this ugliness as "Man [actually Woman] into Machine." 'V."'s  
dual climax is the emergence/dissembling of the Cyborg in prototype  
form, & and the entrance of the stage machinery into La Jarretière —  
the act of thingness forcibly ripping into beingness.

I'm looking for a quote from "Slow Learner":

	The story is a fine example of a procedural error beginning
	writers are always being cautioned against. It is simply wrong to
	begin with a theme, symbol or other abstract unifying agent,
	and then try to force characters and events to conform to it.
