Re: What if: FW vs G2 duel goes go through, ends lethally

I agree with this. He's in the experimenting stage, and he's invested so much that I don't think he needs to be guilted into it.

(as Mildred would say, cost/sunk facility).

Sunk cost fallacy. :)

Plus, of course, there's always the possibility that there's a kernel of truth in the later "prostitutes/loose living = STD" stories.

His 1737 letter to Duhan about trying to make up for lost time wasted on pleasures in his youth, combined with Wilhelmine's frustration at 16-yo Fritz's dissolute life after Duhan left, suggest that *something* happened when he was young. Though for all we know it was along the lines of walks in the park with Doris Ritter.
