Hey D - thanks for your reply. I plead guilty to wishing I could just call Katherine Hepburn at that library and get a brief, authoritative answer to any question. But in a larger sense, I was looking for your input on how an AFD argument along the lines of 'here are some mentions of an entity - they imply wider coverage' is currently accepted. Sometimes I come across such things - in the form of Gbook snippets or pay-to-view scholarly snippets - but because I won't add them as references they don't seem good arguments in an AFD. Something like a snippet 'In K. Hepburn's analysis, the Rights of women in Foobar improved during the reign of...', but if all I can get my eyes on is a series of snippets like that...burden of proof issues. Sincerely,
