I told the producer that I would NOT comment on particular theories (except Newbold, who is a perfect cautionary tale), precisely to avoid the kind of ad hominem debate that Rene mentioned. That kind of debate and pointed criticism might make for exciting and provocative television, but it's not productive. I was actually quite pleased with how the piece turned out - focusing on the realities of the manuscript as an introduction for a general audience, instead of filling the audience's head with nonsense and infighting.
