Actually, Seamus, I think we agree a lot more on this one than you might think. I too am of the opinion that Janney's tale about Meyer is woefully
lacking in supportive documentation and that which is provided is poorly interpreted. I do not put much faith in any of it--and I am extremely skeptical
about motivation for writing it.
However, I do not think that an over-reaching conclusion based on the impact of his flawed work is appropriate. As for my comments to Jim, they weren't
meant as any type of repromand. They were only meant as a suggestion to help him not get entangled in a tit-for-tat type of exchange.
