"If I were a practitioner of the hermeneutics of suspicion..."

...seems to me to be a great way to start a paragraph. I expect that practitioners of the hermeneutics of suspicion look worn and anxious, a bit like Cardinal Fang, the Terry Gilliam character in the Spanish Inquisition sketch.  I think it's my future ambition to become a crypto-practitioner of the hermeneutics of suspicion.
