Well yes, I was being a bit ironic there! All part of the whole machismo thing which unfortunately far too many men still seem to think is appropriate behaviour.
In terms of the plot, I did enjoy the way in which the Falcon was such a perfect McGuffin in the best Hitchcock tradition. All the people in the book cared about it to the extent of killing for it, and yet for the reader, it really didn't matter at all. And the best thing about it was that after all that, it turned out to be a fake.
