Robert, it's a difficult book. However, just as we were able to settle the matter of the 175s, your argument had no textual support and was shown to be a misreading, we can do the same here with the Blicero cycle. We can start with Pan. Since Eddins has a lot to say about Pan I think this is a good place to begin. Page 720 of GR. If this is ok by you let me know.
