Does having the username "2Timer" mean you have to post everything twice?  ;)

Lol. Sorry about that. I was on my wife's stupid Ipad. It does stuff like that to me.

Wow... Never noticed that. It's certainly not a direct transposition, but it is definitely intentional.

FTFY
I'm beginning to think that people on this board aren't entirely certain what the word "intentional" means.

I'm sorry, but the chances of that musical quote sounding like the melody in PMU accidently, especially with the history of DT quoting other melodies in different songs, for example (WFS,LTL), (Mirror,SDV), (Mirror, Lie), is very slim. So, since I'm not writing an academic article and can use words a tiny bit loosely,  "definitely intentional" is pretty apt.

Because you don't know that it was definitely intentional.  It doesn't matter that this isn't an academic journal, words mean what they mean.  If you don't know for a fact that they meant to do it, then "definitely intentional" is not more apt than they way he originally wrote.

There you go. What I wrote expressed uncertainty, and what you wrote didn't, and the fact is that we don't know for sure whether the quotation was intentional.
