With all due respect to that line if questioning Alan, I try and avoid all the various hypothetical possibilities. Before I (We) enter these events I make sure that our research is not contingent on "opinions" or other unsubstantiated unknowns. This has been the mind set of everyone involved with this Valiant project. Those who usually crash and burn realize they did NOT take the time to document those "peculiar" characteristics that confronted them during the project. We have a few of those oddities but I can assure you that we took pictures form every angle under the Sun to guarantee that our restoration efforts would not be left to incorrect interpretation.
