§ Missing Page Not in this edition
A misprint.
The page you asked for isn't in the archive. Either the essay was unpublished, the URL was mistyped, or an older link rotted in the seventeen-year drawer this blog keeps.

Four likely causes of this misprint, in rough order of probability:
- The URL was typed or pasted with a stray character — trailing slashes, smart quotes, or an encoding slip are the usual culprits.
- The essay was moved when this site migrated off WordPress to Astro in early 2025. Most old links redirect; a handful don't.
- The piece was unpublished on purpose. This happens rarely and only when I've changed my mind about something I wrote.
- The link you followed is from a site that copied an early draft URL. That's on them, but I'm sorry all the same.
