INIT obvious?

[mooseming]

Following JKR's comment in a recent interview that she views some 
hints as `anvil sized' I consulted some old books to see if there 
was a standard against which clues can be assesed.

In `Mystery Measured' by Prof Carmine Clupeidae I found the 
following which members of this group may find useful.

Implied Narrator Intent Table

Cannon         
100% Purity of intent              
Affect on speculative theory: Total destruction.

Anvil          
80% Purity of intent               
Affect on speculative theory: Extremely large holes, limited 
repetition can sink theory or cause confusion.

Sack           
60% Purity of intent            
Affect on speculative theory: Minimal damage unless filled with 
nails (see below) however theory requires disguise, blind spot or 
plugging of leaks.

Quart          
40% Purity of intent            
Affect on speculative theory: Douses enthusiasm.

Tod            
20% Purity of intent 
Affect on speculative theory: Usually found in multiples requires 
fancy footwork to avoid damage (AKA the Terpsichore Tap).

Nail
10% Purity of intent 
Affect on speculative theory: Limited damage in isolation, large 
numbers can be terminal either when combined with a sack (see above) 
or by repetition (e.g. another nail in
)

Dram
0% Purity of intent 
Affect on speculative theory: No damage whatsoever but likelihood of 
a headache in the morning.
