He *is* setting it up.
Introducing supremacy of Level-3ers on this list is an evident attempt.

Right. If he really didn't want to spread the bad meme, he wouldn't mention
it. If he mentions it -- and mentions it twice! (as the first time it
didn't catch enough attention) -- it's likely that he has a purpose.

That's right. He, nor anyone else, hasn't described the 4P's. Why? The
mystery meme in his meme-complex? I think David R. explained it quite well
in one of the manipulation's lessons. Good thing Richard is part of this
list and he can say something here (if he wants to).
