I spoke in the car about the hole at the center of this donut. And, yes, what you and Harlan did that fateful night seems at first glance to fill that hole perfectly. A donut hole in a donut’s hole. But we must look a little closer. And when we do, we see that the donut hole has a hole in its center - it is not a donut hole at all, but a smaller doughnut with its own hole, and our donut is not whole at all!
