Sure. But my point is that I took away from this book lessons other than the ones the author wanted to teach.
I don't think Slater was defending playing with fire. That wouldn't be evading the question. I want to leave it at that, because a button of mine got pressed on this matter, and I wish not to rant.
And sure, the book widened the lens of this reader on pronouns. What it made me realize is that the problem is even more difficult than I'd thought. Slater may not be concerned about pronoun use, but Sasha is. But it turns out that Sasha's solution (which I quoted) is not a practical one.
