RMMiller and responds:
:> Additionally, such an explicity supernatural occurance seems out of
:> place in the (superficially) natural story of the megilah.

: That seems to me to be an emotional reason for rejecting the plain meaning
: of Chazal....

Actually, it defies every maqor that speaks of hesteir panim.

The whole mehalekh we consistently take to understanding Purim *requires*
a lack of any supernatural events.

:-)BBii!
