Sorry, i meant to introduce that link in this comment. Basically it shows how the unanimity of scholars on this topic has sometimes been misrepresented. I think not acknowledging that is damaging to the discussion.

I had left this thread as it was getting heated, but ill return for this comment. I think we are smart enough to know when the disuptees are mavericks/charlatans and when they have reasonable arguments even if we dont accept their conclusions. This case is the latter IMO.
