You are confusing physics and literature. I'm not going to say that to a physicist because it would be stupid. Go to an English department and present this argument. I'll wait.
The sky isn't a damned text.
And NO, I am not content to simply accept the critique to which I linked as "right." Do you forget why I came here in the first place? It was to ask a question, and that question was " Do you think this criticism is valid?" And I was asking Dmitri because I value his penis-having opinion.
I judge the critic's opinion to be valid *as criticism* pending my reading of the source texts because it has all of the earmarks of reasonable criticism, and people I trust vouch for the critic--that would be the equivalent of finding known critics among the bibliography.
