@6 clearly intends "syncophatic", "speaking equally (syn-) and together (co-) in a way that performs a social task rather than communicating information (phatic)". There may also be a subtle reference to Paulson's role in the Goldman IPO of 1999.

'"EP, were you the Duchess of Qwghlm in a past and fictional life?"
Depends if you think Stephenson writes fiction or not.'
Since the only element of the answer to that question which depends on the truth-value of Stephenson's writings is whether the Duchess is fictional, it seems we can conclude that EP was indeed Duchess of Qwghlm in a past life; we just don't know whether it was a *fictional* past life.

How C4C will affect the composition of your atmospheric portfolio:
"Cash for Clunkers [yields] significant emission reductions per government dollar
spent, 1.1 million ... annually per billion
government dollars... Yet Cash for Clunkers is a one-off policy intervention, with diminishing climate returns over time." (page 5)
