I think the discussion between Peter and Susan in AW (where they drink whiskey and keep stealing each other's seats) got your point across very well, and with only the hints of anything unpleasant about Peter's inflexibility. At that point, he's still questioning it himself, but finds the justifications to be very situational. Susan always takes a broader view, and is therefore less likely to find anything justifiable in one situation but not in others. Hmm.. that doesn't sound quite right and I don't think I'm getting my interpretation across, but hopefully you get the point that I think that development in AW has been effective and readable to date.

As for the mini-big bang, I'm definitely thinking about it. At the moment, I need to clear out some other obligations before I can commit to a timetable, which is part of what is delaying me in general. Those obligations are fun, but, um... obligatory :-)
