Having done exactly this fact checking I can see most of the things
Daniel is claiming are true, except a few things in which he’s made
(honest) mistakes. What I disagree with is the bad intent which I
believe Daniel assumes; I think there wasn’t one originally, and the
rest is just the result of people not being careful in their
communications to each other and turning disagreements into political
decisions.
