Consider what you like, Dick. There are plenty of people who would rather have the truth, and Bert's tamperings/creativity are already well-known. All we are doing is trying to find out which items are genuine and which items have been recreated without proper attribution.

We are all in awe of Bert's contributions in a very positive way, but that does not detract from a desire to know the truth, in every case.

Bert's reputation as a scholar was largely destroyed by Bert himself. Those realists who want to know the truth can join with us. Those who don't want to know are welcome to ignore us. That is absolutely irrelevant and separate to our admiration for his creativity. All of the people involved here are performers as well as scholars.
