Naw, I may have to rewatch it, there may be some text my memory is missing, but I think Heston has almost more right to claim intentional fallacy than Vidal had to the authority of his 'And I told him how to play it!' anecdote.

I think it inadvertently ended up working beautifully just because of the whole Sewage Department, Mumps, Weiner Scandal story-line. I can't think of anyway that would have worked out so well without Anne Perkins as head of communications for the health department.
