So let's look at what the SART team (and Steven Avery) has REFUSED to answer now for two years. In April 2016, I posted this list of questions on CARM. TO THIS DAY NOT ONE WORD of response has come from this so-called researcher. And these are relevant questions. The fact none of these people has any expertise in any related area ties directly to the "this is why nobody takes you folks seriously." Note the bold below.
1) Where did David Daniels train in paleography?
2) How does the manuscript coming online in 2009 change Avery's 2011 strongly worded opinion about how if one is just familiar with the details, it's OBVIOUS that it is NOT a 19th century document?
3) How many of these scholars have ever come down on the side of saying Simonides told the truth and Sinaiticus dates to the 19th century?
4) Does ANY paleographer in the world date Sinaiticus to the 19th century?
5) Who made the accusation that the manuscript was darkened?
6) Where did Steven Avery study 'forensic history'?
7) How much study of paleography have you (note: Steven Avery) ever done?
8) Does your source Brent Nongbri have ANY papyri that he thinks are dated wrongly by 1500 years?
9) How many Greek MSS has Steven Avery actually handled?
10) How are they to be handled, as in 'what precautions are necessary?'
11) How many Greek MSS has Steven Avery read?
12) How many Greek manuscripts has Steven Avery photographed?
13) How is the lighting to be set?
14) How long did it take you to take the photographs?
15) Can you, Steven Avery, READ Sinaiticus?
16) Do you have ANY EXPERIENCE with photographing manuscripts?
17) Do any of the OTHER two members of the SART team have any REAL experience in linguistics?
18) What are the published works of those in question 17?
19) Do the people at the CSP who host the manuscript online SAY it is an 1800s production?
20) What date then do they give it?
21) How does Steven Avery actually KNOW the manuscript at CSP is really Sinaiticus?
22) How much parchment has Steven Avery actually studied?
23) How many experiments have you ever done on parchment?
24) What date does Brent Nongbri give Sinaiticus?
