I suppose if you believe the tech pieced together in proper format would produce solution to the "labyrinth" then errors and omissions in the material are vitally important. But with all the countless of hours of toil dedicated to application of this stuff would not someone, somewhere have made it through, like a million monkeys working a rubik's cube eventually results in one solution through blind luck?Thank you VERY much, PMD.
I watched all the parts uploaded to date. If you take out DM's hype that you'll get instant comprehension etc. etc., these new editions sound like definite improvements to me, and not DM re-writes into Miscavology at all.
I know it is hard to accept anything DM says at face value, but I could believe what he was saying about the specific changes introduced by the original transcriptionists and editors and never corrected subsequently.
DM said that the text of DMSMH was not revised by one single word.
The format of the books is strange. I didn't measure it, but is it 9x16? It is the shape of a folded flyer, not the usual golden-ratio shape at all. I don't know what reasoning was back of that other than to make them distinctive so that one can see at a glance if someone is reading a new edition or an old one!
Yes, it's a money-maker. Yes, it has been said before with earlier updated editions that the "new improved" versions are now on-source and it was a lie. But that does not negate the possibility that errors were made as DM stated and have now been fixed. The examples of errors given, such as that chapter goof in 8-8008 are certainly real.
Let's see what the rest of the event shows.

The stuff doesn't work as a whole. It just doesn't. So what does it matter except as a curiousity how a book is put together?
