As far as authenticity, maybe you (royal you) just can't enjoy things as they are because you're a college professor and an intellectual. Academics spend a lot of time getting taught to sublimate the original work into a lot of convoluted secondary meaning (on a simple level, like when you said people get taught "Hamlet is about death.")

You have to be loving kidding me.

Just because Brainworm has some pretty amazing analytical abilities it does not follow that he has a myopic "Misses the forest for the trees" view. If you haven't picked up on just how intelligent this guy is you need to get your head checked. I am not talking about his ability to talk about things that fall under his realm of expertise (Paradise Lost, Shakespeare, etc.) that is to be expected. It is the stuff he throws away on the side of his posts that paints the picture of a guy with a ton of intellectual hp.
