It is supposed to make up for the fact that none could produce a single document showing. So the same papers are posted over and over again, preferably in extreme size so that they would create an overwhelming impression. Clear cut facts do not need such machinations, a single paper can be usually produced which would report the facts, without any 'explanation' and 'interpretation' needed.
Its a sign of desperation, since it is impossible to produce something that doesn't exist.. hence the desperation, since despite the efforts to convince them otherwise, the developers of the sim and most of the readers took disinterest and disbelief in his thesis. It would appear that not even Glider or Al believes it any more that it must have been every and all Squadrons, so I guess for the most of us the positions are getting closer, we all seem to believe this boost was used by many Squadrons, personally I believe in progressively increasing numbers after August 1940 (it is clearly noticable that most Squadrons begin to report it in the late summer first). Thus lane's thesis remained an in-bred insanity for a few to share and believe.
BTW a reality check from lane is kind of a self-contradiction. He should check his site first for such, see silly claims about the 1-minute rating of the DB 601A not having been introduced until 1942, that 601N variants have only appeared towards the end of the battle of britain and so on. A 'reality check' from a guy who has become famous for such manipulations sounds a bit incredible to me.
