:Editors: The NWT publishing figures are 100 million as of CY2000. If extrapolated linearly, that means that as of 2007, the figure is more like 115 million.  JW's nearly always place these with individuals for the purposes of individual study, as compared with others who seed nightstands and libraries with theirs.    

Editors: As to R Franz and Cetnar, there cannot be a debate about the truthfulness of the list published about the alleged translators: it either is or is not correct. Since it simply an assertion by two people with known extreme bias and without and documentary evidence (other than penning of their own recollections in memoirs), is can only be classified at this time as speculative. The debate is between individuals and groups regarding the decision of the translators themselves to remain anonymous, and whether R Franz and Cetnar have a motive to lie, mislead, or even unwittingly publish names erroneously. Without corroboration from the translators themselves or the publisher the list is inarguably speculative: The American Heritage Dictionary defines "speculate": To engage in a course of reasoning often based on inconclusive evidence.
