Saper-Warp Hypothesis

The idea that a critic can make numerous factual mistakes about an artist’s
work yet still succeed in making valid points about that artist’s work. (After
reading this creative essay about me as an artist/publisher, I’ve developed
the Saper-Warp Hypothesis, which theorizes that a critic who writes about an
artist’s work is likely to make a number of factual errors, but that these won’t
necessarily undermine the points of the critic’s argument.) (Roger does make
a few tiny factual errors, but nothing that obscures meaning or misrepresents
an essential truth, so we learn that the Saper-Warp hypothesis still applies.)
