I'm prepared to broaden the challenge. It doesn't have to be the

You don't get it. I have NOTHING to prove.

O yes you do, David, O yes you do. You have repeatedly claimed to be
an authority on Thiering's work, and your clear refusal to summarize
even one of her papers here speaks volumes. You don't understand it,
do you?

However, you yourself
have a lot to learn concerning Qumran archaeology, DSS scholarship,
and Christian Origins. I am not saying you cannot do it if you put
your mind to it because I have found you highly intelligent.

I am indeed very intelligent and, in a very, very narrow area,
extremely well qualified. Part of academic development is knowing
one's limitations, and I would not have the presumption to imagine
that I could undertake a credible evaluation of Thiering's work
without substantial knowledge of relevant subjects.

Moving on, please understand that my role is to defend
Dr. Thiering's scholarship to the extent that her good name
is restored worldwide AMONG SCHOLARS. Note
carefully I did not say among NGers.

If Dr Thiering, who has a respectable academic background, has failed
to impress other scholars, what effect can you hope to have?

Have you any evidence that you are having any success? You're making
her name a laughing stock on Usenet - is it going any better in the
real world?

Bottom line - I have already shown that Dr. Thiering
deployed formidable scholarship to support her Thesis.

It's sadly clear that you don't understand her work. You are
therefore, as ever, incompetent to demonstrate /anything/.
