Patrick,
So, if Wilson and Crump had lived to ripe old ages and had claimed sole credit in autobiographies then this would be a closed case?
Much as you might think we do, we have no more real understanding of the "hole by hole", feature by feature details of who among Macdonald's Committee was responsible for the details of any particular piece of NGLA than we do for Merion or Pine Valley.
We can't look at any particular hole, or feature on any particular hole, and say, ah...that's CBM's idea...or, ahh...that's Whigham...or ahhh...that's Travis, or Emmet, or Hutchinson, or others who were involved.
What we DO KNOW, in ALL of these cases, is WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE for DECISION MAKING in terms of what ideas to use, and what ideas to discard, no matter who advised. THAT is fundamental, and that is where the buck stops now and always has.
I'm very open to discussion here, and more than open to additional discovery.
The problem is, I'm virtually the only one actually producing evidence here, much of which was found by Joe Bausch.
If you guys find something, let's discuss it. Right now, that's where the big gaping void is.
