True, it possibly would.  I was responding to the incredulity of the 
early posters on the recipe in the first place.  Someone asked if 2 
hours at 275 degrees would be enough.  I meant to imply that it might or 
might not comply to modern preferences for temperature, that it was hard 
to gauge that at a glance (it wasn't as obvious as, say, 3 hours at 350 
degrees...) and that the only way to tell would be to experiment with 
it.  The rest was just musing on my part, and ultimately implied that - 
I don't know :)

'Normal' is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work, driving through traffic in a car you are still paying for, in order to get to the job that you need so you can pay for the clothes, car, and the house that you leave empty all day in order to afford to live in it. -Ellen Goodman

[T]o admit authorities, however heavily furred and gowned, into our libraries and let them tell us how to read, what to read, what value to place upon what we read, is to destroy the spirit of freedom which is the breath of those sanctuaries. -Virginia Woolf
