I read a lot of the same things, but picked up an aspirational undertone instead of mockery. I definitely didn't see it presenting him like a child. But ymmv.
It’s funny that in the context of an article about a genius of language that I’ll admit there would be better, more accurate words, and ways, to say what I’ve tried to say. May I also clarify that I mean no bad will towards to writer or anyone else involved, it’s only through their honesty that things like what conversation led to his name being brought up can be wondered about. I’d like to take it as a win though that I wasn’t incoherent! Thanks :)
