Pete,

It is nice to have experts with whom we can ask advice and opinions, but we cannot expect them to conduct our research for us.
If we have a question concerning an item that is out of the ordinary or not conventionally accepted, we cannot merely read the published experts and then say that we have conducted research. Do as Mr. Still and others have done: go the the prime sources and bring evidence to light, organize original information, and publish. Create your hypothesis, have the leading experts offer their opinions, and then research to support your hypothesis. This is how any serious question is put forth.
