Justin, do you read much fiction or creative writing?
It seems to me that for you, words are merely a path you tread on your way to finding things to nitpick. You are missing Dave's tone with spectacular efficiency here. He's asking questions that are both rhetorical and introspective, not necessarily literal. He's using words to think aloud and sharing that process with the reader.
Enjoy the writing. You don't have to pick every single nit. This is not a review.
