   >'Annihilation' implies something quite different   
      
   i think you are correct to home in on that....but i have already suggested   
    problems with building upon such a poor foundation.....   
      
   i also note and accord with the comment of 'face'   
      
   imv the story being promoted by the banana has insecure wheels.....   
   but some of the attempts to make it run continue to interest me....   
      
   the description of the tree (empty rhetoric) is quite another issue   
    from the eventual outcome/s for that tree....   
   to attempt to conflate them is non-sense.....   
      
   the various attempts to decorate the alleged (and suspiciously   
    insubstantial) promise of candyfloss look to me more revealing   
    than the banana flavour....   
      
   regards...
