Sure.  In a nut shell, that is my case.  If we use this kind of scholarly 
assumption, are we threatening the SCA's reputation as a scholarly research 
organization?  I, personally, don't think so.  Where were you with this 
simple statement about four or five days ago, when all this started?  Could 
have saved myself a lot of typing.  I truly believe, after all of this mess 
has settled, that it is going to (and always will) boil down to a matter of 
opinion.  My definition of "period" differs from that of others.
