Uh, Ron, have you been reading Aikiweb the last few years? Everything I mentioned is noted in Aikiweb threads from the past few years. So, um, how is it that you missed them?

Well Mark, I've read a lot of opinion on AikiWeb about how Mr. Stevens has done this or that with regards to his translations. Opinion however doesn't constitute evidence of anything other than the author's belief.

So appealing to Aikiweb posts as evidence of the veracity of your claim falls a little short. Note that I'm not saying your assertions are necessarily incorrect, only that when it comes to matters of translation something more than someone else's opinion is required as proof of statements asserting willful misrepresentation.

Best,

Ron
