I would hardly call it "yet another crushing defeat for Simon Belmont" since there have not been any others. Simply because one declares it does not make it so. Of course, this is not to say that I imagine that I am never wrong -- I am wrong all the time, and I have admitted when I have been wrong on multiple occasions here. I admitted up front, on this thread, that I did not claim to have much knowledge about the subject. I wanted to see what the responses were to one of Nibley's articles, and I did.
