Expertise is a relative term, not a measurable accomplishment. If there are persons with resources, awareness, and capability equal to that cited in your statements regarding Bushing and others; then they can refute those statements which you feel are questionable, if any disagreement is justifiable.

In the absence of contradictory expertise, concern regarding the validity of the opinions stated is always warranted. But these concerns refute nothing, IMHO.

They point out the desirability to the collector, of more experts in the field.
