You're spreading misinformation, and you've been told this enough times that it seems deliberate.
Imo, all is fair if you predeclare ("mere armchair analysis").
> do the hard research
I've spent a colossal amount of time reading P6 and Parrot mailing lists, IRC logs, etc. I'd estimate more than a thousand hours since 2000.
> sixperl call summaries
I've looked for an online transcript or summary of sixperl calls before. I'm failing to find them with search engines now. Would you be willing to share a link or private copy?
> ask the people who were there
I've attempted private exchanges about this stuff with some folk who were there. The general response is a reluctance to talk about it. What little I get beyond that doesn't seem consistent with the picture you paint.
> You're spreading misinformation
If anything I said is wrong, please point out the specific issues. Thanks.
