  1. The more of this conversation I see, the more puzzled I am about what’s at issue. It seems to me that there is a continuum: some people take themselves very seriously and are able to offer a cohesive autobiography at any moment, and other people more or less float along and aren’t concerned with maintaining a cohesive autobiography. Is this all that the debate amounts to?
