I remember a number of claims you made in that regard. According to you, your advocacy of your point of view represented an objective academic point of view in sharp contrast to other editors who had only published reports of eye-witness accounts to go on. You claimed to be a political scientist and that trumped the experience of the people who actually lived under the systems you advocated.
