To quote from Aeschylus:
"For thou too heinous a respect didst hold
Of man, too little heed of powers divine! And us the Fates, the ancients of the earth, Didst deem as nothing worth. Scornful to me thou art, yet shalt not fend My wrath from him; though unto hell he flee,
There too are we!"

Your assumption is wrong - I did read the review. It was just light reading, nothing too serious. You are making far too much of it. Hell was writing how he felt on the subject. You want him to write otherwise, but then he would just sound contrived.....rather like you.
