Most impressive. Unfortunately, your counterclaim is fundamentally flawed in two important ways:
1) Cherokee's analysis is essentially a distillation of expert opinion, people who know what they're talking about. It's not something he/she just whipped up out of thin air.
2) Remember how I warned you in the past about cutting up the RN into pieces? Yes, each singular aspect can be argued. But when you put the WHOLE THING together, as Cherokee did--when you take the holistic view I keep telling people about, the conclusion becomes, to be blunt, inescapable.
But then, this knowledge cannot be learned from a Jedi.
Not if anything to say McMenamin has.
I accept Gerald R. McMenamin as valid unless contradicted by a forensic linguist of comparable statute. Surprised? (Jumps in front of you, ignites green lightsaber) if so powerful you are, why read?
your faith in your new 1) and 2) misplaced may be, as is your faith in the dark side of the force.
