In response to the Open Letter:
(1.) A more adequate and consistent understanding of oral history.
BS is BS whether it is handed down or merely created sua sponte
(2.) A more careful attention to the biases inherent in your own language.
The language isn't as important as a reasonable analysis of the facts and
conclusion
.
(3.) A minimal courtesy to those who disagree with you.
Everyone has a right to their own opinion, but not their own facts.
