Yigal,

We went to the movie, not the least, because we are on friendly terms with 
the parents of the comedian Tal Friedman (ESHET LOT). I know you think the 
movie is a work of fiction, but so is, in my opinion, Professor Blau's book. 
I suspect that you think the existence of a casino in SDOM farfetched and 
implausible, but this is what I think of the assumption that the dagesh 
"forte" marks the "doubling" of a consonant.
