The doubt is not about the redness, but about what it means, see.
Similarly, Hayward is trying to hang a whole thesis on Obama's "may" indicating doubt about 'self-evident,' when the point was the
contrast between 'self-evident' (true) and 'self-executing' (not true). Hayward's dog don't hunt, I fear.
Further, he's smart enough to know it, so I must question his sincerity.
