People's responses are consistently ignoring my point. Suppose David
Gerrold 
had grossly mischaracterized the degree of resemblance between tribbles
and 
Martian flat cats, and said that if he'd ever read Heinlein, it must not
have 
been very memorable. When asked if he had any plans to read The Rolling 
Stones, he blows it off by saying he hasn't run across the book. Would
that 
not seem a trifle off to you?
