Understood Peter, you position on this is solid. I guess I struggle with experts and folks providing expertise that don’t use all tools available. My issue is with his research prior to authentication - all the warning signs seemed to be there and fairly available. His auth fee would have covered a days research. Makes me question his knowledge on other items. Simply can’t understand how provenance isn’t part of his method on ultra rare items.
