<DIV>> In the case of the BOOK OF THE LONG SUN, we feel like we have</DIV>
<DIV>> the product of Stage 3, but the Narrator's comments in SHORT</DIV>
<DIV>> SUN lead us to wonder whether we might actually have a corrupt</DIV>
<DIV>> copy, and how corrupt? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Which comments? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And where is the following from?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>> "What can we believe about this text or its contents? By itself,
</DIV>
<DIV>> it is completely incapable of witnessing to its own veracity,</DIV>
<DIV>> and we are not even capable of coming to certainty on what the</DIV>
<DIV>> text actually does say in some places; yet many have believed </DIV>
<DIV>> and do believe that it is a true account of the most important</DIV>
<DIV>> thing that ever happened in this world. To believe that it is </DIV>
<DIV>> completely made up by its author or authors seems impossible; </DIV>
<DIV>> to believe that it is accurate, on a word-by-word, factual </DIV>
<DIV>> basis, seems even more impossible (though there are some</DIV>
<DIV>> extremists who in fact believe each of those things)."</DIV>
