   Of course, it may not even be a concious change -- as I've said, I   
   think there's fairly good reason to believe that what Ken Arromdee   
   said in his FAQ is true (that sometimes the writers were not   
   translating from a full script but writing dialogue based on a summary   
   of the episode).
