I've had a fascinating chat with a friend who was a pilot who learnt to fly by tugging gliders from the airfield above it, who found it a useful aid to navigation. I think the archaeologist was being flippant.

My wife made it a few days ago, in anticipation. She is, as many have observed, cleverer and funnier than me.

Absolutely agree; it's always obvious when writers adopt the tone they think they should (or their publisher thinks they should) as opposed to their natural voice. And readers want to know how writers sound naturally, that's kinda the point.
