Hmm, what could have prompted Oates to delete that tweet?
@JoyceCarolOates What does this even mean? I mean, size of Texas would mean lower population density obviously. Other than that, I'm lost.

@JoyceCarolOates What point are you trying to make here?

It was possibly a “point” Oates wasn’t comfortable trying to explain.
