I realize one can read and dismiss anything. The question is, did you
sufficiently answer the problems proposed by those authors (BTW, I haven't
read all of those, though I have read many others, but Smith's alone would
require a great deal of response before I would accept one's right to
"dismiss" it.)

The same can be said for Daleiden's book.

Cheers.
