I thought Clark was rather condescending in the opening scene. The fact that he was right was irrelevant. He put out his arguments point by point, but he didn't let her finish talking. Then he dismissed himself so he could outline the same arguments to Perry (which meant that the readers got a double-dose). I still liked the story and where it is heading, but the opening part made Lois look foolish and immature.
