It's not just what DV said, which is also, so so true (though I actually didn't know about Naipaul. I just knew my mother loathes him with tar fire vengeance - undoubtedly this is why).

The other thing is that Yonmei obviously didn't read very well or even try to understand Coates pov. She just leapt to this very ass showing interpretation. She assumed a MoC HAD to not be getting it. Instead of seeing someone saying 'Why are you throwing your pearls before swine and crying about it?'
