I really wanted to like wezterm, but on my system it bitches about fonts a lot, and doesn't seem to execute shell rc files properly.

Why isn't it being assembled as HTML that can be viewed in document inspector or via viewing source? Ht HTML that extensions inspect shows up. If it is assembled to be rendered, why isn't it available anywhere else in the browser

I think that is the idea, yes, but it's open to interpretation as all art is. It could be they exist but Rodion wasn't one of them.

I think his idea in Crime and Punishment of there being a class of 'special' humans is pretty interesting and enduring.
