Thanks for this. I don't have the classical background I should do, but from the smattering I have, and your post, this theory of how John operates suddenly seems very clear. It doesn't make me love John any more than I already did, but it certainly helps illuminate an aspect of him that I'd merely taken at face value. I like that you make me think.
