So, I agree with your subjectivity observation, but I tend towards a harsher judgment against Nibley. Interpretation is always debatable; fabricating sources isn't. This talk was from 1983 - hardly a lifetime ago. I just wish the LDS wouldn't lionize him so.

And by the way, for SOME of us, 1983 IS a lifetime ago.

I finished my undergraduate in 1982, and got my law degree in 1986. Archea is north of 45 super jock though he is.

I'm not getting at that so much as the fact that for me, it is, quite literally, a lifetime ago. When Hugh Nibley was giving this address, I was swimming around in ambiotic fluid.
