A fair assessment. I never saw a purpose in the thread- though I did learn something about a topic early on, that I knew little about before, by looking stuff up for myself.

When the absentee op poster made a claim and failed to explain it or back it up when asked - there is no credibility to the claim (which is not the same as saying it does not have some possible validily).

As Steve indicated, there was potential for an interesting dialogue on a side issue, the Peron years, it never evolved as a focused discussion.
