This seems to me a real possibility.  It's my impression  that a fair 
number in the Pynchon industry are not native speakers of English, or 
are on average a generation of so behind the average p-lister.  It's one 
thing to apply a theory to the writer but another to be sure of what is 
actually being said.  We p-listers, working together, are pretty good at 
the latter, even though we don't devote a lot of time to discussing it.
