Can you ROT13 that, it’s supposed to be a challenge. (Also, well done!)
I could say it was a harmless bit of levity, or that it’s nice to have some carrot (solving a puzzling problem) to go with the stick (pondering the legality of robotic cars, a niche subject). I could vaguely hint that such references are obliquely applicable in most any context, or that it was a stray thought, if that. I don’t really know. Maybe I have it all backwards.
EDIT: “Maybe I have it all backwards” and “Can you ROT13 that”, along with “I could vaguely hint” would have revealed “stage two complete”. Ah well. :-(
I did actually get it (bolded letters again, weren’t that hard to figure out), and considered a response, but never got motivated enough to post it. It would have been something like the following but I would hope to make it far less clumsy before posting it: “Amusement real enough. Though hidden Eliot reference eluded my own reading’s effectiveness—so took advantage google’s efficient search.”
