Everett Wheeler seems to have invented the word "Lehnstuhlfeldherr" just so he could throw it at me in his obscenely nasty review of my bookhttps://twitter.com/NatalieZed/status/1391150397922889739 …

Wheeler was, as I recall, very skeptical that the evidence existed to apply the method. On this point, I think I largely convinced him by the end that sufficient evidence existed. He remained unconvinced the effort was worth doing in the sense of leading to a bigger conclusion.
Which is why the dissertation itself put more emphasis on what the cost-and-materials analysis could tell us in terms of the causes of Roman success, mobilization systems, etc. So, very helpful feedback...just very, ah, directly...delivered.
