Except you do need to support your analysis. Sherlock Holmes did this and he didn't exist, so you should do it too.
But Mycroft Holmes never did and he was the smarter one. Holmes even called him Omniscient.

He stated, in fact, that Mycroft was such an absolutely perfect observer that he was omniscient in respect to anything passing within the scope of his observation. Let's not completely distort the intent with unqualified statements, shall we?

I, for one, appreciate the author's post. Although I never viewed Pathos' reply as anything more than a humorous distortion of the author's intent. It was obviously an in media res, stream-of-consciousness description of a nuclear detonation.
