Why do you think no one is able to call me out? Why do you think I'm making it up? I can cite scripture and/or authoritative Tibetan texts for pretty much all of it. I don't because no one in my non-academic audience cares.

I read the primary Western academic Tibetological literature, and of course the standard Indian and Tibetan texts. I’m perfectly willing to argue about them, in good faith. My aim in writing is to translate those into terms non-academics can understand. I’m not an innovator.
