In this light, how about we consider this:
1) Archer makes his own point about poetic expressions from Kaworu.
2) Reichu says that is against a non-existant statement from M that he speaks
scientifically.
3) Oscar remarks the twist of concepts.
The quality of my grasp of English may be then brought up by whoever feels I did
not get the point as it was meant, however from what I can tell:
4) Reichu apparently acknowledges the twist attempt, save for the fact that she
disregards completely the part of Archer's post about how scientific speech was
not in the point, which to me seems like "take 2" ought to refer to another twist
of concepts, because what she stated by that was the same as in her previous
post.
So...does it come as an accepted fact that "haha" is a term of much broader
spectrum of meanings and uses than "mother", or not? If it does, then it would
seem that the main pillar of support for the female theory is unsound. If it does
not, then we haven't seen enough semantic references to support the case,
especially in the face of the visible-to-all facts in the series suggesting that,
if a gender/sex must be attributed (on some levels) to Adam, then it should be
male.
Personally, I think this is as good as any other piece of idle speculation that
Eva may prompt or have prompted in the past, it's something one can entertain
oneself if one wishes so, but I'm having a hard time seeing a place for it in the
context of determining and describing the most important concepts that this show
revolves around. This does not mean in any way that it shouldn't be discussed,
only that it most likely won't make it in the top-10 memorable discussions in
this list.
