Hi Sue,
Sean here.
Thanks for your input.
I want to primarily ensure one thing with the documentation that I put together. If the reader wants to see the
proof behind the statements made, all they have to do is locate and follow the footnote number next to the
statement, to its location in the appendix where the proof behind the statement is located.
The reason I favour this approach (the larger appendix approach) is because I've read many rebuttals, to many
different issues, and some of them present nothing in the way of evidence to corroborate the statements they are
making. Statements which are presented to address and correct certain points in the material they are rebutting.
It could just be my personal preference here, but I like, when possible, to see the proof behind statements. The
reason for this is because it is simply too easy to state something unsupported. Someone can easily state something
is real, just as easily as someone can state it isn't. If, however, there is material that can prove a statement, or an
aspect of a person's case, it should be presented, and referenced, so the area of contention can be put to bed.
The large appendix approach should not necessarily mean, however, that the written material isn't concise. If something
can be stated simpler it should be. The balance in the approach I'm seeking, is concise statements, accompanied by the
proof to substantiate them.
Many thanks,
Sean
