Totally concur - the point I was making that you revealed well is “The author is all that matters”

This actually happens all the time between experts and legislators, they just call it lobbying and it unfortunately lacks the “neutrality” that should be assumed, corrupting the whole thing in the process.

Um..."The author is all that matters" was not my point. Nor is it my belief. It is, at most, one link in a chain.
