CAKE
Did you know that for a child having
a hand full of raisins,
pieces of chocolate,
ounces of flour,
chunks of butter and
a few eggs
displayed on the kitchen table
is exactly the same as tasting a browny cake?

No?

But the child can pick the raisins, take a lick of butter, nibble the chocolate, play with the flour.
For short enjoy all those ingredients while mummy is busy on the phone or doing something else very important.
When she puts a handfull of birthday candles next to it,
the kid even can throw a birthday party, sharing that stuff with his or her friends.

Do you think I am foolish and don't know how to treat a child?

well

I feel that, again, from the manuscript that I read it
really is just like reading Ms. Rowling's works out of order.
I don't feel that it brings any new insights into the work and
I do think that, you know, yes, maybe there are die hard fans
out there but, again, when you think about the larger consumer
book-buying public and, again, people who are coming to the
series, particularly children, I just feel that many people
might get a copy or read it, buy a copy of the Lexicon and get
so much of Ms. Rowling's work in that form that it might deter
them from reading her books.

Just a thought that occured to me.

Nice parallel, really. As arguments go, that one isn't the best I've heard...
