Congratulations to David Bokovoy

In this case I wasn't talking about any arguments in particular you've ever made. I'm just introducing the possibility that at some point, it is reasonable you could be put into a situation where you're dealt such a bad hand on a (legal, not Mormon) case, that despite your brilliance, experience, and careful attention, there is really nothing you can do to salvage a victory. In other words, contra Bill and Dan, it wouldn't need to be the case that you'd throw all your abilities out the window if you were to lose, the problem may lay with the difficulty of the case. The same could be said for a world-class surgeon who loses his patient even though she makes one hell of an effort.

David, then, doesn't need to shelf his brain, or throw his abilities out the window to submit papers better fit to start campfires, he just needs to be working backwards from a bad topic.

fIn fact, it might seem transparently obvious even to a layman that Crocket's arguments don't even come close to cutting it, but in this hypothetical case, no one could probably do better.

I would be pleased to respond to specifics. I have been told by dozens of believers and nonbelievers alike that my research contributed much new information, but I can understand there will never be closure on the MMM.

No closure? The LDS church thinks the matter s closed, their answer being that "we don't know what happened, we didn't have anything to do with it".

Someone tell Hinckley Crockett wants to reopen the books. Of course, secular historians (you know, the real ones) have opened the books and found the Mormon church culpable. Damn, funny how the LDS church does not make the rules, huh?
