Now I have received the two scholarly papers from Matt. Warm thanks for that.
I have read them and am less than lukewarm. IMO, which is perhaps not worth much, the arguments of both can be compared to a half-baked pretzel. They really tried, both of them, to make a case of the blithe-hearted raven. Kinda reminded me of the other pressing question: How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?
But I'm glad to have the papers and glad to have read them, and Matt was very generous to help me out there. Thanks so much.
