I haven't heard this one yet, Jon--and you know I'm looking forward to it
very much, as are a lot of us--but to paraphrase inevitable future
conversations around here, when you say:

I'd have to say: Right, there's no accounting for mileage...buty
....you and anybody else migh conceivably benefit by leaving some room
(someplace) for the possibility that you were SUPPOSED to be jarred.
Or at least--that something could be gained (and okay, maybe also lost,
your tradeoff may vary) in the course of this jarring--to which I'm very
much looking forward.
It's the very combination and clash of these two approaches which seems
most provocative about this whole deal before I get to hear it.
