Several hours after posting this, I realized it made me sound as if I
thought that anyone seeing my reasoning would be convinced by it, which
wasn't what I had meant at all.  What I had really been afraid of was that
my ideas would come off as being wild speculations with no basis in the
text; but I hadn't wanted to suggest that Mr. Broderick would treat me in
such a way.  I really should learn to wait before posting.
