Although it will sound unpopular I believe it's better to include the other potential victims in addition to the canonical 5 because it's better to have them than to not have them as then we have the most complete picture possible and then can adapt it accordingly for those who are staunch Canonical 5 believers.
I would also add the Pinchin Street Torso and the Torso found under New Scotland Yard building to be even more controversial.
Once there's a map that illustrates the absolute maximum potential of Canonical 5, potential other victims and the torso killings, then it will give the absolute maximum number possible in terms of map locations.
In terms of the book that implicates Barnett, I agree that there are countless others that also lived/lodged/worked in that area and so the objectivity is lost and it nullifies the significance of the maps intention to be impartial.
What's he biggest mistake that ANY book on the ripper makes?... Almost every publication is written with a favourable suspect on mind depending on the authors beliefs.
But I believe that a map of this kind NEEDS to remain impartial in order for biase not to creep in and then lose objectivity.
The map you have shown is brilliant but I think it doesn't tell the whole picture (quite literally)
Is there a map like the one you've shown BUT including all the other extended parameters I mentioned?
