You apparently have posted your opinion based on a snap judgment of one piece of writing you took literally

Well, of course. My stated opinion is in reference to the incident discussed on the article. I strongly object to Adams' behavior in that case.

he intended it -- as a metaphor for discussing a certain type of student

Now that would be of some value, if "Kyle" did not actually exist, and the whole thing was some sort of morality play.

I was trained as a chemist, trained to be coldly analytical. I often take things literally, unless it's carefully spelled out otherwise!

Me, too! Adams is an acquired taste. Glad we are still FRiendly after my spirited defense. I have become a fan of his over the years.
