Philip, If the claim had appeared in a supermarket tabloid paper I would not have noted it here. But it appeared in the usually-distinguished Times Literary Supplement and is part of a series of attempts to claim, misleadingly, a medieval date for the scrolls. Because I think some people who know better might have interest in being informed and in writing editors to correct such misinformation, to better inform the public on what research has determined, I find I see this differently than you. But I leave it to other list members and the moderator to help clarify what suits this list.
