It still feels backward to me. I wonder if you're proposing a construction that could be rearranged (or juxtaposed without informational degradation, if Arturo is around) to yield a sentence like: "Are you who you are, I think?" Does this mean you'd red-pencil the more explicit "Are you the person whom I think you are?" Or let's get fancy: "Are you [...] whom I think you to be?" There seems to be - let's call it - a conflict of subordination. (Grammatical, not personal. :-) )I'm subordinating the crucial pronoun to "I think", while you are subordinating it to "Are you". I wonder what the rule is in this instance.
