Just look at the very clearly anti-war films that drove military recruitment to new heights, the people who attempt to ban Farenheit 451, or the plethora of other brilliant books where readers fequently miss the point because, you know, half of people are of below average intelligence. This is just a case of the writer covering their own arse rather than explaining their work. | |
