Just what a ?carefully researched article? means I?m not sure; an historian does exactly that or should. But if we historians are not willing to stand-by our research & printed(electronic, oral & otherwise) works then why do it in the first place! If I say this is the evidence I have and did due diligence then I stand by what I have done. If it is ?corrected? in the future then so be it. But let us not avoid writing history ?at all costs? just because Will considers them ?the most dangerous words in historic research?. I?d rather have my opinions out there then not! But so has he. A conundrum indeed. This applies to the 30th ann. of the MacIntosh. We know its history but not the underlying reason it was created as S. Jobs is no longer here. I can surmise what was his intention but that's all. Does this negate what I do? Hardly! Murray :-)
