My concern is that Percy will believe that the MoM is infallibly 
right, no matter what it agrees to/with, and no matter who says 
otherwise. My hunch is that if the MoM had said that LV had returned 
and had opened up a Kosher Chinese Vegan noodle shop, Percy would 
have believed it unquestioningly.
