I'm not sure I know exactly what you're getting at here, but I would say that I would hesitate ot argue that the character's voice can and can not be faithfully reproduced.

Yeah, yes, that's not what I was trying to get at, though I'll admit that the failure in communication was quite fully my own fault. What I meant was more along the lines of there being a continuum from "tight" 3rd person POV to "omniscient" - and what falls in between - that in many stories with a primary character-focalizer we nevertheless have words/sentences/paragraphs/what have you that are, more or less clearly, in the voice of the narrator rather than in the voice of the character per se (without, I think, the reader considering it a "lapse" or anything - just a matter of distances and such, and stylistic issues, of course). I'm still explaining that badly, though, so I don't know if it makes any sense at all. :P

Which, of course, is not to say that you don't have a very good point there, as well. you know.
