What's more, they are making an argument I will never read. Too many clues that nothing of consequence lies behind that wall to ever throw away the time it would take to find out for sure.
Instead of a tease followed by a labyrinth, I would suggest he just pick his main point and make it. If that goes well, he can make another. If the stupid isn't absolutely radioactive, I'll follow along. Otherwise, I'm done.
