I consider wadinga's doubts about Tovey's memory as a valid objection. OTOH I can't ignore Tovey's letters. That conflict leads to my answer: I don't know. The current state of source material is insufficient to answer this question.Antonio Bonomi wrote: 1) even if I do not understand why everybody seems not to beleive Adm Tovey own written letters and their content, ... I see that you do not trust him writing to Stephen Roskill and Roskill evaluation of Tovey statements. Am I correct ?
Surely we will never find the recorded phone call between Tovey and Pound.
I don't consider a BofI not as a "disciplinary action", but a search for facts. So I don't think it was necessarily a threat.Antonio Bonomi wrote: What about the letter exchange between Tovey and Pound on May 1941 ?
Is that a reliable input in your opinion about " disciplinary actions " intended versus 2 Officers named by Tovey into the letter to Pound ?
Do you beleive that was a real intended threat for Wake-Walker and Leach ?
Of course for me it is more than enough, .. even if I personally trust Adm Tovey 100 % of course, ... every time he wrote and when he spoke to McMullen and Adm Blake.
Yes, I see no reason why there has to be a cover up at all. I mean if there's something to hide, the question is: hiding from whom?Antonio Bonomi wrote: 2) We have long discussed the " Cover Up " content and I see you current position, ... still.
I respect your ones as well, but as a friend I want to say some really well-intended words:Antonio Bonomi wrote: 3) Well my " tendency to overinterpretation ", ... started on 2013 simply from the Adm Tovey very evidently incorrect dispatches ... has driven all this set of evidence to surface lately, ... so I was not so far from the reality at first, ... but just the opposite as you can realize easily, ... bacause all my intuitions has been proved being correct so far.

You call it intuition, but that's exactly bias in its purest form. In my perception you're always tending to over-reliance on confirmation rather than refutation. In my perception you seem to use manipulative tricks like loaded questions to "win" at all costs. But your uncompromising will to "win" devaluates all your efforts and that's a pity.
