          I mean, sure, it might be a dumb argument to make, but it doesn’t mean that wasn’t what he intended it to be about. The author is free to have an intention and interpretation of the work that is radically different from the audience’s perception. It happens with all art forms.

The disagree to disagree option is what war is. Given enough people interacting with each other, war is an inevitable outcome of human nature.
