The Gold Key: If You Can't Win on the Facts, Then DENY It Exists
Shazam! (I'm running out of words to say "wow!")
After months of arguing that the gold key sequence is somehow a scene a faire or some other animal that is it NOT, Random House is now arguing that it doesn't exist!
Hmmm, this last-ditch strategy of denial is pretty interesting!
Did they do this because they FINALLY read Daughter of God for the first time? Or because the sequence and near-identical nature finally reached a critical mass that they could do nothing other than deny it?
This issue was raised in an earlier blog comment by "Vanessa."
I replied to that post in this way: " Vanessa: remember that the key here is "access."
"I was clear that the gold key in both DoG and Code did "not turn a lock."
"The ingot allowed access in the bank because it had the account number and then physically activated the Rube Goldberg-like mechanism in the salt mine.
"Likewise, in Code, the gold key allows access, but does not turn a lock. It does not unlock a safe deposit box, but allows access by activating the Rube Goldberg-like mechanism in the bank.
"Banks do not have any such thing. I think it is clear that the process was an intriguing and attractive one which was simply adapted by Brown."

And the paintings aren't both on wood they claim. I haven't checked DVC on that, although I remember it was canvas I think.
Actually, the painting in the Louvre that the DV Code uses was ORIGINALLY painted on wood and later transferred to canvas.
The OTHER version of this painting, which is in the National Gallery in London, is STILL on wood.
