This matches mine closely enough to be worth saying so out loud. Posting only so the count is not one.

Coming at quinn_sf’s question from a different direction. The useful move here is to separate what is established from what is widely repeated. Those two sets overlap less than the confident tone of most write-ups suggests, and the second set is where nearly all the disagreement on this board comes from.

Correct me if the detail matters more than I have assumed.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. Practical: whatever you change, write down the date and the reason. In three months the reason is what you will have forgotten, and the reason is what makes the record worth having.

Following on from quinn_sf — and this may be the naive question:

How would you tell the difference between that and the alternative explanation?
