Note to self: Having a character say something, especially in dialogue, is not even remotely synonymous with telling that same thing to the reader.

Furthermore, 99.9% of the population does not read the same way you do, you scary obsess-o-geek frutibat, and that's okay.

Your note caught my eye, and now I'm wondering what I'm missing. The unreliable speaker as an issue?

No, I mean that the mere act of putting something in the text does not mean the reader will pick up on it.
