Well, see, there's the thing. There may well be bits out there that do so indicate. I do not, a priori, disbelieve such a possibility. It's just that they're not the bits I've seen*, and under the circumstances, why would I go seek out more of his appearances in a bid to achieve greater understanding? That's like trying to achieve insight into the effectiveness of anesthesia by volunteering for some dental work without it. :)
