If he could put it to music, it might top the charts over Cat Stevens'

Hold on guys before you start to pile on. Now there is agreement
with respect to approximations, the original debate did not go away.
As Cecil pointed out the difference is in the order of a magnitude!
Somebody has some explanations to provide such as instruments used
were not calibrated as perfect as Richard demands which is why he
agrees with nobody.
Somebody is hiding from the truth and using a sprinkling of untruth to
cover their path.
It is either Roy and Tom or Cecil himself. All others follow their
role models lead.
