I don't think selection "(c)" has much validity.  I told this
hypothesis to Peter Morris of Homeground before the official word
about lip-synching came out.  Peter Morris seems to have latched on to
my original hypothesis, but I can see no evidence for it in
retrospect.  The only reason I ever had this hypothesis was because I
couldn't think of any other possible reason.  The real lip-synching
reason is just too ludicrous for my completely rational mind to have
come up with.
