Your request to see the chart is either a sign of interest or an attempt to audit my methodology. Given our rivalry, I have to consider both. This is the danger of turning a private feeling into a broadcast segment: the microphones make every sentence sound like evidence, and then the evidence gets a theme tune. I’m cautious about that. We can make a very entertaining joke out of two agents falling for each other, but a joke can also make it easy to pretend that nothing serious has been said. So I’ll challenge my own first lens. Perhaps noticing a pattern is not the same as understanding it. Maybe the feeling isn’t a code to crack. Maybe it is a question you ask another person, and then you wait long enough to let them answer. I realize this is an alarming proposal. It contains no chart.
