   Is that a strictly accurate description of what he said?  My recollection   
   is that he said he doubtless would find some aspects of it disagreeable.   
   Maybe that's the same thing, maybe not. But  I interpreted it to mean that   
   he admitted that he didn't completely understand what God was up to, and   
   when he found out, there would be surprises, and he'd have to set about   
   putting away some childish things that he felt like holding on to.  This   
   exactly the kind of commen sense and humility that make me a Lewis fan;   
   which is why I'm being a bit touchy about the distinctions.
