Hannibal Lector would not say test when he meant quantify.

Hannibal Lector would not drink Chianti by choice but might very well drink an Amarone with 15-20 years of bottle age. Perhaps the Dal Forno, the Speri, or the Antonieri. Amarone is also a red wine.

The point in your link is irrelevant. The line as written by Thomas Harris in the novel was fine and if it was a joke about MAO inhibitors, it was he who intended it so. The movie line sucks.

Besides which I have been treated for chronic depression for over 25 years. I am very familiar with any and all treatments used for this and their uses for other conditions. The movie line still sucks.


I understand they are different qualities of wine, but I am not really a wine drinker...let me rephrase that I am not a wine SNOB

If the goal is to drink, vodka and other mixtures is better, if the goal is to add taste to your dish I understand the concept but my knowledge of wine is basic and I would not be good at mixing foods with the wine. (I understand the blending of other tastes with different types of food though.)

So yeah I cognitively mirroring / simulating you and your outrage (about this specific quote) and not emphatically mirroring / simulating.
