::::::Since we started discussing this here, and it is relevant to the history section of this article, then for continutiy purposes it should stay here unless we all agree to move the talk. You can always provide a link from talk:Hydrochloric acid if you feel it is mising some audience. 
 ::::::Some of you are missing the point. The point is that there seems to be a misconception over when hydrochloric acid was discovered and whether or not it was discovered by Geber. In my draft article I make this clear from the onset and cite references as evidence that some authors are confused on this issue. However, I also say these are likely to be false and following this I make it clear that most academics believe the discovery of hydrochloric acid to be much later. I see nothing wrong with this, it is basically dispelling the myth that Geber discovered the substance which I thought is exactly what you want? This whole "'m right, you're wrong" attitude is pising me off, please act more responsibly and actually consider other peoples views. All what the new section does is point out the possible confusion that some authors, and perhaps readers of the article might have over the geber discovery and point out that this is likely not to be true. What's so wrong with doing this. You can't brush under the carpet the fact that some people are confused by this.
