It does work as many have speculated Felt was exactly that over the years. He always was at the top of the list.
I agree W&B built up a myth and misrepresented qualities about the source, but you'll need to accept that Felt is the guy.
W&B say that Felt is DT, and that's fine by me...but now they can't explain how Felt gained technical access to DT's information.
Thus, the legend of Deep Throat is going to be exposed as a fraud.
...And *that*, my friend, makes me giddy.
