I wish the resolution would have focused more on Pointless Man's thoughts and reactions to the situation. Mack the Knife was a nice touch though.
I read the encyclopedia entry you provided for Gilbert Ryle by the way, although I got the distinct feeling of stepping into a conversation that I wasn't really a part of.
That suggestion about PM's reaction is a good one, and has me thinking. Thanks.
As to the whole Ryle thing, I can understand that. I guess my point was merely that I take my stance against questions of free will as part of a larger position on 'philosophy of mind' which denies mental dualism and places thinking or mindful action in the world. If that makes it any clearer. >_>
