Many of the Forumites - including Dan-San Abbott, and the Grub Street authors, and Alex Revell, among others. Actually, it is I who agree with them, as they know more and have been at it longer.

I seem to recall that Mister Observer is NOT among those who believe that the British overclaimed wildly. It seems to require a considerable suspension of disbelief to avoid that conclusion. Those who disagree seem to be less objective about it. They seem to be defending a particular hero.

It sounds like a good question for the Opinion Poll, if it hasn't been in the past.
