While I don't think that a likely connection, I think there may be other commonalities...like the races of the non-specialists that suggest they recognize it. Big game hunters and liches being specialists in this case.

Random thoughts:

"Bet the house" is colloquial for betting everything you have deemed appropriate to risk. I would be all-in on "not protean" assuming no worse than flat odds (which obviously would be a stupid set for the house), and very likely at most any reasonable odds.

No one needs anyone's permission to render an opinion on something put in a public forum. There is no reasonable right to privacy or control of opinion on what anyone posts GitP. So espousing taking the moral high ground on not backing up your statement that someone said (in quotes) you hurt their feelings as fallout from a previous post is well within your scope, but it makes it look an awful lot like a girlfriend at Niagara Falls, and casts a cloud over your other statements. I think you often have interesting things to say. I agree with your expectation that post reveal there won't be any legitimate "But wait, that can't be!" arguments. I think that sometimes these nuggets get lost, that's all.

My opinions, for whatever that's worth.
