The Confidence-Man | Herman Melville

Finely stated at 16:40:
"... I'm not unconvinced (as Melville would put it) that there is at least some intention to put the question to readers the question which is worse, a surplus of trust which is naivete, or a deficit of trust which is cynicism. And this dialectic goes unresolved ...."

Bravo!!!
