Lol, honestly I had to read that piece diagonally but anyway got the point the guy was writing about. Brilliant read, actually, diagonal or not. I love people who invest so much time on a tiny subject like this. I also love things like seemengly "incorrect" spelling or word choice. That's a classic songwriter's trick, or writers trick in general. Eight Days A Week, A Hard Day's Night, The Beatles did it all the time. So "dice was loaded" is a minor inconsistency in the shadows of the giants like The Beatles. And more than that, Mark is a masterfull writer and of course, he puts a lot of meaning in his lyrics, even for a seemingly silly love song based on Shakespeare.
