the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh:

If we had any proof that the athame could infect anyone other than Faerie, this would be a more appealing theory to me.
Harry jumping on Nemesis as an explanation for all sorts of weirdness in CD doesn't change there being plenty of other perfectly satisfactory explanations for all of that weirdness excepting only Aurora going loopy prior to CD, and is notably similar to Harry leaping on the "Black Council" as a one-size-fits-all explanation at the end of PG, which he's been notably quiet about since the Nemesis concept came along.
(Since the whole series is largely a detective story, it's an article of faith with me that any "one theory explains most of everything" that Harry comes up with before the end of the last book has to be wrong. There is no "Black Council", just a bunch of different enemies with different agendas all sometimes working together and sometimes screwing each other over, and Nemesis is most likely, and most parsimoniously, a specific anti-Faerie weapon. I look forward to debunking another wrong theory of Harry's on this scale probably about book 18 and at least one more during the BAT.)

Unless the Black Council and Nemesis are elements of the same unified theory?

Neurovore, what are the wrong theories of Harry's that you are looking forward to debunking, if you please?

New ones he makes up between now and then based on information neither he nor we have yet. I just reckon that, as detective stories go, there will be more than one wrong apparent explanation in the remaining space of the series before we hit on the right one.

Similar to old Bogey movies, where he meanders from one scene to another, gets his butt beaten or does some beating, all the while the clues keep misfiring until enough of them sync and fire off the right solution.
