Just reporting facts which, according to your reply above, are factually correct.
Take it easy: just like now you are saying "I did not have a lot of experience" you are going (hopefully) to think/say the same in a few years of your "thruth" of today.
Realize that and listen more to what people have to say, that's my suggestion.

don't you worry , even in that 1998's book , the information i used from various magazine was only a small part of my book , and was after i diagested one , i wonder why didn't you come to some kind of conclusion after you had read them all ? or just because your comprehention was not to that level ? i felt very satisfied as my book in 1990's the conclusion i came with , was amayzingly same as today after all the new evidencs found by defferent people and places , so my direction was accurate , and doesn't need to be changed , yes , when my new book was published ,i will add in all those evidencs that i found during last 8 yaers.
by the way , shi mei lin is my ex-wife , i learned some forms from her ,and i also tauhgt her the very precious YIJINJING易筋经 ,which i learned from the only orthdox great master zhu yun fei 竺云飞and i havn't taought anyone yet apart from meilin ,there was nothing strange about we learn from each other.
