Well, you have to give him full points for inventiveness...
The mind, she boggles. I have to admit that I feel uneasy about agents who solely use the query as a sorting tool, because one person's fantastic query is another person's meh, even if both end up liking the book. The moment an agent allows several pages of writing, however, I'm cool with being rejected - I do not *like* it (who does) - but it's the same sort of decision I make while browsing in bookstores - do I like the sound of the project as a whole (back/query blurb), do I like the writing. Hard to complain about that, really.
