I did read it and as I pointed out.. you lost me.

We were talking about the reason the wings were swept on the Me262..

At some point in the conversation you stated that the reason was NOT confirmed..

To which I responded the reason was confirmed..

To which you said (asked) the following

At that point I realized you were not going to take my word for it, and that you required and experts opinion (what you called confirmed authorities) before you would belive it.

That is when I provided you the statement from STORMBRIDS (aka experts aka confirmed authorities) who agreed with what I said.

So that is where we were.. Not sure what 'tangent' topic your going off on now, all I ask is that before you do.. Let finish this point to make sure we are on the same sheet of music before we proceed.. Because there really is no reason to move forward if we have not established this simple point.

With that said, allow me to present to you the same question I ask you in the form of a YES or NO question.

Hopefully that will help me understand what your trying to say..

Here we go..

Are you saying the folks at STORMBIRDS are WRONG or LYING when they said that it is TRUE that the initial Me262 design consisted of STRAIGHT wings and that the reason the wings were SWEPT back was to correct the cg due to the heavier than expected jet engines
Yes or No?

That being a pilots's 'perception' of what is going on can be very different from what is 'actually' going on.
