You need to do more than tone down the hyperbole.
You need to actually address the main thing that has come out here. That is that tonsils were not fully removed in 1945, and tonsils keep growing until age 8. Those two things combined made it a great deal more common then than now for tonsils to regrow.
This will never end, will it?
My tonsils were removed in 1947 before my first birthday. They have not grown back and I have never been diagnosed with tonsillitis. Ditto for my brother a few years later.[/QUOTE]
You would have a point, Jim, if I had said in EVERY SINGLE CASE they would grow back under the conditions I outlined. But I didn't say that, and the fact remains that it WAS more likely to happen back then than now. That is not my opinion. I posted the source. If you can refute the source, please do. A personal anecdote is hardly suffice, and would make DVP blush if attempting to get it past anyone.
