My intent was for the reader to glean the facts and do as they wish with 
the assumptions, perhaps even ignoring them.  However, if the reader cares 
to be troubled an assumption, then that’s fine with me.  But the 
interesting near east beekeeping facts comprising of the larger percentage 
of the document were what I had hoped would get most of the attention.  
And sole reason why I wanted to share it with the list.
