I think we both know that rivalry schadenfreude at least in part motivated you
to post this (you couldn't help but include the "hail!" throw-in). I probably went a little
overboard with my own response, too. As for the "reductive" point, you glossed
over way too many nuances of the story -- as far as we know *today*, Lewan
was not involved in this. That could change, but it's a little reckless to throw
that in there.


For people actually interested in understanding some of the story's details,
