But Velikovsky is most widely known for his theories of Venus being a
comet ejected from Jupiter, and that kind of thing; so when you call
Rohl "Velikovskian", it does seem as though you are tarring him with
the brush of exuberant catastrophism on the astronomical scale.
[Note: I've never read anything by or about Rohl except on this list.]
