I suggested writing a concise guide for teachers and posting it on the WMUK site for two reasons, firstly because the point had been raised on this list in December, and secondly because I know how to get that written, having done a book chapter on this in 2007. If there is a need to integrate with other work, by all means put forward a way to fit it all together. I'm sure it is right to 'migrate' the message from a rebuttal of what journalists have to say, to our own ground. I see no inconsistency here, in fact, just a discussion of ways and means.
