I could blame cyber-gnomes, but this is of course a rather
embarrasing typo on my part. Worse yet, it made a difference in the
meaning of my intended message - what I meant to say was quite the
reverse than what was actually there when I hit send. IIRC I meant
to have the word "not" in front of "discredited". I need a charm to
prevent myself from again creating such muddling of the intended
message.
Best regards
