For one thing, it could put a new light on colebaltblue's two truths and a lie, because that might make their #1 the lie, a possibility I had not seriously considered -- and which would make the triad a considerably more specific nudge-wink, rather than the very general bit of logic it is in either of the other two cases.

And it might also explain why colebaltblue brought out the popcorn during my exchange with scfrankles about "The Retired Novelist", since if you're the author that thread has both of us being hopelessly wrong....
