I marvel at our patience in reading and replying to Rich's theory.
Well I guess I do have a dog in the fight to use consistent standards and logic when evaluating evidence.
But what I meant is that I have no dog in the fight regarding modern forgery vs authentic.
I am actually not convinced of Rich's modern forgery theory (and have told him as much.)
I do, however, see that he has some valid observations and I respect his open minded-approach, politeness to those with a different opinion, and the consistency of his logic, all of which are often contrasted by some commenters.
Perhaps I am seeing those things more easily because I have not subscribed to any particular theory.
Well, you seem much more sympathetic to Rich's theory than most other commenters, so in so far as any of us can be said to have "a dog in this fight" I would say that you do. You may view your sympathy to Rich's narrative as being down to your being more logical than others, I beg to differ.
