Critics do."
Define explanation...? You mean you have an opinion based on conjecture....?
Yes, Patrick, a conjecture based on the evidence.
Is your opinion that all this missing material is due to incompetence? Then say so. Don't ask for a definition of "explanation." Surely you already know what the word means.
It's amusing that in many other cases you do not hesitate to speculate, but here you demand a definition before you do. Why is that?
