Er, isn't that exactly what I did with my previous version? I tried to reach a compromise between versions from weeks and months ago, which I thought were quite satisfactory, and the current one (with its new tidbits of information like the Dianetics link). What about the version I proposed is lower in quality than the one from months ago?
Anyway, since there doesn't seem to be any support at all for Nescio's version and it clearly is inconsistent with the rest of the opening and heavily redundant and POVed, I'll revert it to the previous version for now to continue discussing; it's hard to get an idea of the new version when two of the paragraphs are changed forwards and the other is changed backwards. -
