I don’t think I can explain this any more plainly.

We're splitting hairs:

Wikipedia -- Literary Criticism

Wikipedia -- Historical Criticism

I wasn’t talking about the two criticisms as areas of study. I was pointing out what strikes me as a flaw in the story as a story. There is no hair-splitting taking place.

I think you’re being deliberately obtuse.
