If my words came out as arrogant, I apologize. But yes, I bought this 'trust between the author and the reader' thing. And I think I've got a better deal.

So there was a moral? We didn't need to fill the blanks ourselves? I would like to know what was your take on the moral of his story. I am asking not because I want to ridicule or something, but because of genuine interest.

Thus, everyone who ever read the novel until the end is either faulty, or guilty. Isn't that a bit harsh?

For me, trying to find out what could have been proved to be more interesting than trying to guess what had really happened. There is more truth in the former. Therefore it didn't bother me one bit.
