You are using Bonetti’s Defense against me, ah?

Perfect. The context: Wesley’s retort was of, “…but I find that Thibault cancels out Capa Ferro. Don’t you?” This speaks of Gérard (Girard) Thibault d’Anvers (1574-1627), a Dutch fencing master and author of the rapier manual, Academie de l’Espée (1630). Thibault brilliantly utilized both logic and geometry to aid in his swordfighting defense. Therefore, Wesley felt that his Thibaultian studies in using such tactics…

Unless the enemy has studied his Agrippa...

Which I have.

Prequel Memes. They are the only acceptable universal standard of human comms! Effectively free to generate & distribute. From True Love at the Lake House on Naboo. To Absolute Power in a single Space Opera frame. Like Shakespeare, Lucas has managed to encapsulate the full spectrum of human experience & emotion in a handful of plays. I am looking forward to Asoka mania this summer. And time permitting, building some in-house pixar quality prequel meme economy generative tooling ;)
