The appeal to humor might carry more weight with me if I found Blackwing particularly funny. I don't. But that's just my bias.

So wait, you know the intended takeaway from the page (or at least know you aren't getting it) and are persisting with this argument anyway?


V has good reason to think that Blackwing's comments are unimportant, and that's because Blackwing is a titanic ham who regularly does things like this, much to V's exasperation.
