Precisely!  I recently recommended "The Magus" to one of my victims.  He bit back by implying to me that he didn't read it. ;-)  I saw a copy on his bookshelf... now I'm torturing myself by wondering if he read it or not.  Obviously, asking him directly if he read it would clip some of the loops, Yog forbid.
