Some of these arguments are not very impressive.

2) Of course the stage electricians and those who stock the dressing rooms are not the same people! But they're both under the control of the same supervisors, who will either ensure their employees follow instructions or they will not. And the dressing room rules, being less vital in the eyes of the lazy and careless, can serve as the canary in the coal mine. I see no reason to assume that David Lee Roth is lying about his own experience and motives.

3) So the Church didn't prosecute Joan. But then it says: "You know who put her on trial? Cauchon. That’s who." And who was Cauchon? A bishop of the Church. I see no reason to quibble over whether the Pope gave a hoot about it or not, and, sure, the English authorities wanted her dead, but the Church - a bishop of the Church - put her on trial. QED.

1) On the other hand, this is an outstanding and moving piece of work. Must be especially meaningful to you as the parent of small children.
