Bryan:

I see you have taken basically the same tack as I have, except that I 
consider the reason that the person is unrepentant, namely because he thinks 
he is 
not guilty in the first place.

But the question comes up, how do you square that reading with the points? Or 
do you consider the points as reflecting a tradition that may or may not 
be consistant with the author’s original intent?
