>Am I going to have to bridge this gap for once??

Meaning what exactly? With your writing? If you can't appreciate the classics, trust me, your own writing is probably garbage.

We were arguing the importance of authorial intent v. interpretation, correct?
An interpretation of a text could most definitely lead to real-world effects, sir. In no way does this absolve the author, either -- as is my original position (interpretation > authorial intent).

And that's okay if you believe what you believe, because, ultimately, it boils down to relative interpretation.
