Jeez, I can't believe you dug up that hoary essay. Feeling nostalgic? ;-)

Bah, it's a classic, and it's the sort of exploration that makes more interesting stories. Certainly more interesting than yet another "OMG Superman got irradiated by a heretofore-unknown plaid kryptonite and now he's acting funny!" retread...

Yes, but it's funny. Which is a good reason to take something too literally. :)

I'd probably appreciate it more if I had any faith that Niven intended it to be funny, and wasn't just being a tool. :)
