You're understating the degree of knowledge at the time,


I don't think so. My intent was to highlight the difference between "known
at the time" and "widely known among experts at the time". As I pointed
out, you didn't have to be a biology major at the time to miss the
("known") problems.

> didn't get it right a few years later


These both are (different) questions. I had commented on your comments on
the former.
