I disagree with some things she says but not because her approach is invalid.

I disagree with the things she says because she does not support them with any evidence.

She disagreed with me saying dyslexia was a problem. I never said anything of the sort but that didn't stop her writing it down on here. I said it gave rise to problems, and that her super-hero in the field of dyslexia said the same as me. Funny but we never heard much more about it after that.

This started because Lizzie said "How has it become so controlled by those who demand that the correct history of the song is constantly given out, when these songs were sung by people who didn't give a shite about the history of them....They just SANG them, and I've no doubt that each time they were sung they were changed, notes here and there, words, intonation, etc..."

Example after example have now been given to show where this is simply not true.

But no matter about the evidence, Lizzie still believes it so, without any evidence whatsoever note - NO EVIDENCE - she can still insist it is true.

That is why I say she is talking bollocks.

Incidentally I think the hair of my true love has had some chemical additions.
