However I think to state that they are "your arguments" as though nobody is allowed to make the same or related arguments is problematic. Nobody owns any "argument".

It seems to state that there is "absolutely no way" makes little sense. I have seen no justification for this.

Just, because I have plenty to say on the subject. I often find it easier sometimes to break things up into smaller comments than one big comment, especially as a browser refresh or something similar can lead to one losing all that one has typed. All one needs to do is look at Nick Pelling's thread on Milanese ciphers to see page after page of comments by me with no intervening comments by anyone else. (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.) Maybe my approach of focusing on a small number of topics may seem myopic, but that is my preferred method. The reason I have devoted so much effort to cryptography in the early 15th century is not due to a perception of my theory being threatened on the cryptographic front, quite the opposite.

I do both, each at different points.
