Misreading is fruitful, it gives energy, it produces progeny. That which can't be misread is terminally fixed, dead. Hence the danger in misreading -- Jesus can lead to Torquemada and Pius XI. But also the opportunity, without which we might as well not read at all, but find a nice warm cave, and stay in it forever.
