My sources are not misleading. If he goes and looks them up, he'll find extensive discussion of many of the issues you bring up, in exquisite detail, by experts in the field. I simply referred him to some kick ass sources and left it at that.
In fact, if anyone is being misleading here--it's you. You attempted a quickie analysis in a field I frankly don't think you are qualified to make any sort of authoritative pronouncement whatsoever. In other words, I think your information was nobly intended, but misguiding just the same. I left snoop to peruse the sources himself and I did it intentionally. Those sources and the editors and translators who comment on them will give a more accurate picture of the situation than you or I ever could.
