Re: Cleric's Responses to Mystical Metaphysics (or How to Make a Logical Argument)
Or we could go with the alter ego hypothesis; or maybe the crime-busting action figure/mild-mannered cyber-geek split-persona scenario. I have to say though if it is the same person pulling off two profiles, it's brilliantly done, with this constant switching between the aggressive cross-examining ...
