A dispute over British primary sources became an accusation of deliberate misrepresentation based on maps that the critic neither supplied nor cited. The missing material could be combined with the British evidence if it were available for inspection.

The exchange distinguishes openness to correction from accepting an unsupported assertion and gives viewers a concise example of source criticism in practice.
