LOL. Here's how Krauze segued into this discussion (IOW, "the main point")

Yes, and Krauze just explained. "There wasn't anything "particular" about this example. I mentioned "Frankenstein's monster" simply because it was the first item on the list." Is there a reason you ignored that?

As the discussion has developed, we've seen that the full extent of understanding of the IDist of Frankenstein apparently does not extend beyond some vague recollections of a B&W movie that sent him/her scurrying under the covers. The contrast between the posts that address (and answer) Krauze's point and the replies is, um, revealing. If the blogmeisters' (and their cohort's) responses are examples of "critical thinking skills", I believe I'll do without.

Do you have any evidence that the designer(s) of that T-shirt chose Frankenstein's monster with KC's points in mind? Nope. The T-shirt designer(s) apparently chose Frankenstein's monster because it was something that was a) well-known; b) an imaginary entity; and c) required the most number of letters.

The point here is that Mirecki has seriously undercut the explanation provided by his Provost. The e-mail does that and the t-shirt adds a little spice that illustrates it. What is truly revealing is how you would have us sidestep this serious point.
