Szent-Györgyi clearly stated that when pure ascorbic acid was administered, it could not cure scurvy.

You are not representing the statement accurately. The finding was that "pure ascorbic acid" produced "no response". This is a problem with absorption, not because ascorbic acid is not vitamin C.

No, you are twisting the facts. The essence of all the articles is the same, even the ones you linked: the bioflavinoids are the key to the effect. There is no problem with absorbtion of ascorbic acid, but by itself it only cures constipation (in the most dramatic way!). In large IV doses (10 gm. /hour) it's also often effective against colon cancer, but not against scurvy.
