I'll certainly agree with that.

Did you people not notice that I qualified my statements with "MOST", or that I specified texts only?

Rian, I KNOW that the current lot of texts will suffer from revisionism ... that's how it works. Which is why it is generally better to use more contemporary texts in conjunction with the primary texts. (well, it's always better to go with primaries, rather than secondaries anyway, then you can make your own judgements...)

Guillaume, I did archaeology as my major, so I'm quite familiar with the need to stick with current articles.
