Absolute Green Lantern #10 - "Dig It Out"

[laughing_tree]

We see that Hector Hammond's been successful at being Hector Hammond in a way that the regular universe version wasn't. If you go way back to the 60s, he started as this great sort of society man, and this great business person. Very quickly, all of that fell apart, because Hal Jordan found him out as the phony he was. And then the next time you see him, he's got a giant head, and, you know, that's his life now. So in some ways, our Hector's, like, more successful than the regular first one. We'll see if he manages to keep that up. -- Al Ewing

Basing Absolute Hector on Green Lantern #5's version back when works well - so much of his " shortcut to self-profit with super-science " angle translates easily into today.

...is Hammond asking himself if he knows how to read?

No, he just wants to determine the magic prompt with which he can synthesize the solution he desires from the large structure of language.
