Did that link encapsulate his entire presentation? I thought there'd be more.

I thought he'd found them...

Don Bradley (nice man that he is) seems to be overpromised yet consistently under delivered. His fireworks tend to be damp squibs.
His thunder clap more of a Trump. His...well...you get the point.

I'm not sure if your disappointment is because you're expecting apologetics, and not seeing it.

I believe that Don B is presenting the fruits of his research without regard to the possible apologetic or critical nature of his findings.

Since he's a believing member, it would be easy to expect apologetics from him. Is he overpromising, or are others overpromising on his behalf?

To be fair I allowed for that when I said he seems to be overpromised.
I think Don himself oversold that Book of Abraham character thingy that he did, but apart from that I accept it may be others talking him up into something he's not trying to be.

Yeah, I kinda got that from your saying "seems to be overpromised" rather than "seems to overpromise" - and thought that it was an example of your usual precision in writing.

I just wanted to emphasise the point a little.

Probably not.
He did a piece about a character in, if I recall correctly, the KEP.
Not sure if it's online but it was last year and discussed on threads here.

I thought it was a fantastic presentation, filled with many new discoveries that, to the discerning eye, completely transform the history of LDS temple cult.
