Wow, that's definitely something I hadn't considered in my hypothesis. Thanks for pointing that out. The sheer expense makes the book's existence much more intriguing.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I'm afraid I still don't exactly understand where the post erred, because I think it provided valuable context that I was not aware of. OTOH I'm not the mod who had to deal with the mess, so i

> the temerity not only to rise up in rebellion, amidst grand declarations of universal rights and freedoms See, I read that in a sarcastic "how dare they" tone. Maybe that's why I don't think it's controversial.
