Not true. The states won't send representatives with carte blanche authority to do as they wish. They will send delegates, with specific commissions that limit their powers.

You mean like the fellows who sent delegates to tweak the Articles of Confederation?

Once you have a ConCon in session, there is nothing you can do to stop it.

Which delegates violated their commissions?

ConCon is for dumbdumbs

So let me get this straight: The original Constitutional Convention overstepped their authority and, even though the result was ratified unanimously by the states, it was illegal. So our current Constitution is invalid.

Do I have that about right?

An Article V Convention is not a Constitutional Convention. It is a convention with the purpose of proposing amendments to the states for ratification. And that is it. Period. To suggest otherwise is to misrepresent the facts.
