Re: VMs: Re: Re: Inks and retouching

A couple more remarks, then Forensics can have it back.

f3v, second line, first word, second individual diagonal (EVA-i). Maybe 
it did not happen here, but the two dark lines at top causes me to 
wonder if initial impacts of pen to vellum might sporadically have 
caused excessive ink to flow so that smear actions were necessary. Maybe 
a characteristic of this particular writer, the vellum, the pen, or the 
ink.

Still a mystery to me. I am not impressed with conclusions being 
referred to as fact nor do I believe in the infallibility of deductive 
reasoning, which is dependent on the reasoner and knowledge. It may be 
the best there is to offer but it is not necessarily fact. The best 
there was to offer Native Americans seeing a ship for the first time was 
that it was a floating island. To some Europeans, it was reasonable that 
birds spent the winter under the local lake. If an observation includes 
an assumption, that is another chance to go astray. I am impressed, 
though, with the detail work on this and some good reasoning, also.

Ciao ........ Knox
