Actually, I’ve sometimes been quoted as a source if that helps.
In short , there comes a point where your cumulative learning and experience melds into an overall set of conclusions, although as I said above , it’s only ever an opinion, so it can be right or wrong or - more likely - somewhere in between.
Bottom line then is that I don’t believe either Blm’s version of itself or the validly of the arguments which are made in its name .
