Re: A Revolution in Thought: Part Two
The entertainment value has somewhat faded for me, too. It was curious to see how she'd react when faced with facts too obvious to deny that Lessans was completely wrong on a point, but after playing the 'I don't know but I'm sure magic did it!' card a few times, even the intellectual puzzle of figuring out entertaining, novel, or just the simple cleanest falsification doesn't hold any further appeal.
I don't think it's impossible she could ever realise she's clearly wrong, but that was never really an expectation of mine.
