I'm not saying that the explanation is wrong (well, part of it [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almost_surely almost definitely] is), but I'm not sure that the use of Summer Glau's name is to get the last word. The kind of person that you would use this type of critical analysis on would be unlikely to be a nerd (re: grammar/syntax/spelling/capitalization errors and lack of understanding of the subject involved), but an Internet troll or general idiot. So what would be the point of using that name? My initial impression was that it was giving the appearance of hidden depths to a celebrity (who may or may not be seen as capable of it), and would thus illicit an amusing reaction from the reader. Imagine if you saw a word-by-word rebuttal attributed to Paris Hilton or Justin Beiber. An alternate interpretation is that it would make a favored celebrity look even better, much like the "memetic badass" status that Chuck Norris[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Norris#Internet_meme] has. | I'm not saying that the explanation is wrong (well, part of it [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almost_surely almost definitely] is), but I'm not sure that the use of Summer Glau's name is to get the last word.
