Well how about that? LOL!
Being there and later giving an encyclopedic account of every detail are not inclusive! Because what I find from the "they were there" guys is that every word is to be treated as straight literal fact.
I remember one guy that took Dave Southwoods' article Flying Black Six and came up with a stall speed test that allows loss of height as long as a wing does not drop since Southwood never mentioned keeping height as part of a normal stall speed test. The result being that when he performed the stall speed test his way the IL-2 109G-6 has a stall speed of 135kph, time to let Oleg know the 109's are overmodeled. It was hilarious!
Why certainly, every account, book or magazine article become complete reference and instruction material carved in gold to the worshipful fanboy. And every fanboy has the uncanny mental ability to extract the supreme truth from every account, etc.
Next stop, a special museum to see how people lived with dinosaurs and the many ways that evolution and most all science is wrong. Don't forget to buy the DVD's!
