I will get back to you about your private email, with some documentation
(which, naturally, means it will take me a little time). Read
"untrustworthy" as synonymous with "unreliable", rather than
"intentionally dishonest". I consider Gish's argumentation so shoddy
(see my FAQ for reasons) that I could not accept anything he says
without further documentation.
