This was very enjoyable! Even if the whole thing turns out to be completely bogus, the paper would get an A in my classroom for the elaborate attention to detail. If we're casting the concept of authorial intent to the wind (and who knows? maybe they're not) this is a very sound line of argumentation. My congratulations to the theorists, and a gentle, tongue-in-cheek invitation to back slowly away from the computer.:)
