I'm saying that due to the saturation of Katz' work in any amount of surface level research into Butler conducted after January 2022, I think they're plainly lying about having not encountered the biography or the author unless this has been sitting finished in the pipeline since last year. They certainly could have researched this pod this year and dodged the minefield to such a degree that they never encountered it, but that seems highly unlikely to me!

The similarities in the way primary sources and info are interpreted and structured are what raise it to the level of suspicion for me, not the parallel use of primary sources. The evidence presented was sufficiently compelling to me and not sufficiently compelling to others with whom the podcasters have earned a higher degree of trust. Perhaps I'd feel differently if I had that level of trust.
