That should've been an "if" as Adrian noted. Also, looking it over, I should've QAed the whole thing.

It should've read:

"I'm saying one should NOT limit oneself to trying to be like them in terms of writing -- as IF ANYONE writing unlike Hemingway (or unlike a caricature of Hemingway) has missed the boat."

Please forgive the confusion. Or call me Entropian. ;)
