@staidwinnow I took “biblical” in the headline to be metaphorical. (Kinda sorta…or simileical…or one o’them thar literary devices.)

And some claim some parts of the referenced text to be metaphorical. So for a moment I thought the critic might be attempting cleverness. Then I chuckled. Naaah.

Your comment, though, is clever. But there’s something not quite right with those examples. I’m working on <s>that</s>. Which.
