Some scholars maintain that the young man, is a 'leftover' from Secret Mark
(e.g., Morton Smith). I think it is safe to say that there is a consensus
that the 'young man' is not to be taken literally.

I'll withhold judgment about Secret Mark until I see evidence of its
existence. As for not taking the "young man" literally, I think my earlier
comments show that I'm in complete agreement with you. Now, this raises an
interesting question: By which criteria do we judge gospel elements to be
fictional? Was Judas real?
