I have to disagree with you on one point, though. I don't think that Michael ever truly believed that Pentangeli ordered the hit. Only a truly stupid man, and a non-Sicilian at that, would ever attempt a hit at that kind of event. Michael knew all along! 
You and I aren't in disagreement, GA: I never said Michael believed Frankie ordered the hit--Roth
wanted Michael to believe that Frankie ordered the hit. The fact that Michael figured out, right away, that Roth intended Frankie to be the patsy was another example of his "Sicilian cunning."
