Interesting but ultimately irrelevant.

Doesn't much matter whether Logan underlined "Kendall" or crossed him out

What matters is the effect that line had on Kendall's psyche in particular.

It was potentially Logan's validation, which Kendall had been seeking all his life

The fact that it was potentially a strike-thru is less Logan's sloppiness than Jesse Armstrong's sadism towards Kendall as a character

Sort of like whether the "Inception" top stops spinning or not ... ultimately "not knowing" is the actual point
