While Hank certainly thinks this way at times (for instance, when critiqueing Clarence's plans for the electrified fence), at other times his main focus is on _effect_ at any cost. Clearly you recognize the difference here, but you aren't really exploring it - you're claiming a similarity yet proving a difference, and not reconciling the two.Adam Johnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11588769281227456640noreply@blogger.com
