It's you who presented exactly those stains I linked to try and prove something in this thread, so of course my criticism is relevant. In and itself, those color differences are meaningless. In order to make a story out of it, you have to wave away the explanations that were given for those differences. To make this work, you have to undermine the credibility of the scholars involved, and that's what most of your efforts in this thread are about.Steven Avery wrote: ↑Wed Sep 19, 2018 12:26 am This is just one of about 5 distinct hand-wave attempts that do not address the evidence, by attempting to nibble at an edge. It is humorous the variety of attempts.
E.g. A reference to a stain on one of the 4 contiguous Brit pages clearly negates nothing. The fact of uneven !859 stained and streaky pages is one of the anomalies.
You saw my small attempt at summarizing your whole story as humorous, but it's only humorous because of the story you have presented in this thread. You may have changed around the possible actors once in a while, but my summary was pretty much on point. Yes, the whole story looks ridiculous when you look at all of it, so there's no surprise that it looks funny as soon as you are presented with the whole package.
Yes, and what the Brits did matters how? You know that the manuscript was in parts that were kept in different parts of the monastery when the manuscript was retrieved. That's the explanation given, and of course it would explain the differences. To make this go away, you have to paint Tischendorf as a liar and ignore all later parts of the manuscript that were still found in other parts of the library in later years. Most of this thread comprises of attempts to make this explanation go away.Steven Avery wrote: ↑Wed Sep 19, 2018 12:26 am Similarly, your “criticizing” spmething is supposed to demonstrste something?
Plus, they were not outer pages. The Brits rebound them as a unit, making them all inside.
