My advice to you would be to remove any example where you mention weird suggestions made by uninitiated people as being somehow representative of the theory and focus on the real theory only. If you cannot bring yourself to do that, then please TELL you readers how you have chosen to quote sheer silliness as being part of the theory!
I don't know why you mention Paul Begg, and I hope it is not because you want to portray me as claiming that Paul Begg is a crackpot. He is effectively not. But if he has suggested that Neil arrived two minutes after Lechmere left, then I would stretch as far as to say that I believe that he is wrong.
I used the word "crackpot" because I genuinely sensed that there is a risk that your book contains examples I have not yet seen (I have only read the fewest of chapters so far) of you quoting people who do have crackpot takes on things, and passing them off as being somehow representative for the Lechmere theory.
I donīt think we are going to get any further with this matter. It is what it is, and it is not good. Hitting it back and forth with a bat won't add anything more to the discussion. I will try and find the time to read more parts of your book in days to come. If I find the same kind of stuff there, I may well return to the discussion. Hopefully, I will instead find better things and a fairer representation of what the Lechmere theory suggests. We will see. I have other things on my agenda ahead.
