Right, this has been your point in the current discussion. 
I'm not sure why you are making this point since it's obvious from page
seven that Wicks is an oral story teller of great depth and complexity.
I thought that you were arguing about specific tales or narratives told
by several narrators along the way and attributing these to Wicks or at
least suggesting that there is no reason why Wicks could not be telling
these tales.  We have provided substantial evidence to the contrary.

Obviously, since both me and Robert misunderstood your position or it
changed 

(not saying it did, but that's how we both read it, not saying that we
should expect or even VALUE consistent argument here either...but...get
enough of that at the factory here where we manufacture or better said, 
prefabricate and package plastic postmodern parrots....)

it's not fair to say that a fight is being sought. Is it? 

PS on the apparent connections or the multiple readings of the
"invisible creature" and worm, line, torpedo, mound, force, current,
battery, engine, intensifier, Sha, joke, pretext, text, dragon,
jesuit/ET invention, chee, etc and so on & Co.....

See the rocket cosmology, page 726 of GR
