I would think that if you were trying to lure me out from my monastic cave, it would have been through means of a faux spelling/vocabulary bee with another federal judge, Bostonian Bruce M. Selya, whose vocabulary has been variously described (

The unmedicated mind never rests, but here I am, and I propose an amendment to my entry in the quick-draw naming competition.
A portrait can, of course, display much more than a head. Also, however composed or imagined, the portrait is significantly the product of a sure hand.
Therefore, substituting the Latin for hand, I offer:
Veritas manus (VAYR-'e-toss MAH-noose)
to denote such efforts.
Not only is it much more apt, but the initial assignment -- to somehow implicate Judge Learned Hand -- is fulfilled.
Q.E.D.
