I apologize to Chris for dragging his name into an issue he may have no 
interest in, by making a claim about his work that he has not (to my 
knowledge) made himself. This was inappropriate. This claim was entirely my 
own notion (and, on further reflection, simply invalid: neither true nor 
false, but logically meaningless, because the forms of analysis involved are 
so different). To my knowledge, Chris has not made any such comparison 
between his work and the work of literary scholars. The man certainly doesn't 
need me to brag for him, and I'm sure he prefers to pick his own fights.
