 ::::::::::I hate to drag this on further, but on page 198 or 199 of Rymer's book Jay Shurley says that Genie's isolation was still the longest and most extreme by several years.  Shurley was and is the preeminent expert on the subject of human isolation (there's a mountain range named after him in Antarctica because he spent four years studying effects of human isolation there), had/has a vast knowledge of all the extant literature on the subject, and since that time has not made any statement to the contrary on Genie.  Anyways, I think the current wording is jut fine, so we can hopefully agree on that.    "
