Brain fart on my part, Kamino. Thanks for the heads up on my mistake. I accidentally switched the wife and the man up in my post. Sorry! It’s fixed now!

Actually it could be a triple negitive, if you interpret “count out” as “not the case” then it would be “not not not the case”

Two things on the last one…

but I guess it isn’t 100% NOT counting such a reading out

Double negative! Double negative! *ahem* Seriously, it probably wasn’t helped by the fact that I’m kind of half asleep, but I had to read that sentence twice before I could make sense of it, because of the double negative.

Second…the story Elvis tells, and the legend are actually kind of…opposites. While I can certainly see how Elvis’s story turned into the legend, and the points you make show neither could possibly be true, the transition, without the discussion of the mutation is a little jarring – it had me rereading to make sure I’d read it properly.
