"Paladin's great advantage over his adversaries was not his impressive equipment, or even his ability as a marksman (superior as this was). Paladin's edge was his rich education; he had an infallible ability to recognize ancient antecedents to his current situations. When the enemy was surrounding him, Paladin could usually make some insightful quip about General Marcellus and the siege of Syracuse, or something, and then pull a trick that put him on top. It was by virtue of this ability that Paladin rarely needed to actually shoot anybody; like a master chessman, he sought control of the board through superior position, not attrition."


Can't see how parallels are drawn. Paladin never backed down.

I have taken Paladin's tactics under advisement, and proof can wait until after release of the CD, when you're on record.
