Unfortunately Peter, this is your wishful thinking. The man has manipulated
the information for a pacified audience. This is for me an unavoidable
conclusion, seeing the evidence available. Either he has simply missed it
or he has wilfully avoided it in his presentation. I doubt that he missed
it. He seems to have wilfully manipulated the contribution of Kenneth
Kitchen. I think it is clear he is a fraud.

This has nothing to do with the basic discussion, Peter. We were dealing
with the redating of most ANE chronologies based on Rohl's fancy.
