interview questions

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Just really quickly, I think Wolfe does this in Long Sun, especially with regards to Crane's lame physical cause to Silk's original enlightenment, which seems like such a dumb idea until you realize he could have been programmed for such an information hemorrhage.
I didn't even think about a physical cause for it until years after I originally pondered it because Crane's explanation was so purposefully unconvincing.

Unless you spill the beans right in the beginning so blatantly that you fool the unwary reader into ignoring 
the right answer. Which Wolfe has done here.
