I enjoyed the post. But I'd challenge anyone to google for the Paris Review interview between Frost and Poirier.
Frost was interested in James' old, difficult Harvard veritas and all that -- for about five minutes. Although he had a bit of a deeper classical training than he lets on in the article. Still, Frost's idea of truth is much more temporal and ad-hoc ('performance' being his big thing -- though this is a somewhat limited reading, if you ask me -- unless you take the idea of performance very, very seriously). I think he'd have encouraged evolutions of ways of thinking as long as they were original. As long as they struck you ('performed') originally.
