If I were to sum up the Clerith tactic I see most often, I'd call it Context Avoidance. They look at everything as an isolated incident, instead of asking themselves how it fits in the whole.

Just take all the quotes from RF: koibito, Cloud and Tifa would be together, Tifa like any woman who's been left by a man, etc. They look at each of these quotes and try to find a loophole (Cloud's name isn't mentioned! They'd be together in the same location!) instead of taking all the parts and examining how it all fits together.

Context Avoidance is a MASSIVE part of the WoI, Bella.

For example, in the old ST/SW throwdowns, a classic WoI Trekkie argument was that because of a line by Picard was dismissive of lasers (lasers, those won't even pierce our navigational deflectors), and because SW weapons are CALLED lasers, Trek ships would be completely immune to SW lasers, and then refused to look at either the context of Picard's line or the nature (or context) of SW Turbo and Superlasers.

But yes, I agree. They insist on examining each piece of the puzzle, and when the entire picture isn't on it, they insist it can't be a windmill.
But the slightest hint of pink and they think it's a flamingo.
And then they refuse to look at the puzzle when people start assembling all the little jigsaw bits.

As a non English major, I am satisfied because I don't have the measure how much literature interpretation can go into a script and how I can take the opinions of other people who are English majors.

Am I too late for this joke to work? Damn.

Star Wars/Star Trek rows scare me. And I've never even seen one. Nor do I want to.

Also, you can all trust me on English stuff because I'm actually a published author. I'm rather successful. I wrote a fantasy romance, maybe you've heard of it? It's called "Twilight".

So as you can see, I know what I'm talking aboot. I don't know what all this third person stuff is about, so it must be stupid and not worth my time (like real vampires). Everything is crap compared with my books, the only true literature (including the films), and that's all there is to it. Now let's have ice cream or something. Or I'll have ice cream. When you all have best-selling books too and finally know what you're talking about, maybe then you can have some.

It's obviously Edward. If you think otherwise, well, you've just never been in love, sweeties. But it's okay, when you're older you'll understand.

Also, because the success of Twilight has given me superpowers, I can read Nomura's mind and now know that Cloud actually loves Edward because Edward's ice-cold skin and chilling good looks melted Cloud's icy heart, like ice cream left too close to a fire burning like hot repressed passion.

So I've solved your little problem for you, and you're welcome to send me money. Just no fan letters, I'll just throw them away. You can't possibly write something as wonderfully as I, so it'd just be a waste of time reading them.

If you bought all my books.

For your friends and family.

And at least three sets to give to strangers to spread the good word.

And the body glitter.

Then you can have some vanilla ice cream. If you get a tattoo, then it comes with toppings.
