I am questioning a rather dubious methodological approach, and I have stated my reasons for considering it as such. If that reminds you of MO's atacks, it is your privilege to believe so. As to endangering a livelihood, there is nothing to prevent Mr. Batov from approching the reconstruction of vihuelas on more solid ground. If you are impliying that the survival of Mr Batov depends on making instruments following a mistaken approach, you must have a rather lowly opinion of him.
