Huh? I'm referring to my understanding of Scott's citation of Jon's observation of the brush strokes on the Khufu cartouche in the RCs a while back during the discussion of the excellent photography of Dowell and Chapuis. I vividly recall those observations being made here, and I assume it was Jon who first made them since that's what's been presented in this discussion. But regardless of who made the observations about the brush strokes in that cartouche, it's irrelevant to me what the expertise is of that individual. What's important is whether those observations do indeed characterize those brush strokes as we see them up there in the rafters.
