Thanks, I wasn’t aware of those two items on metaresearch.
My pleasure. OTOH, TVF postulated an exploding planet for the K-T extinction impact events, as well as another one he’d postulated (hence his need for a revised EPH), because he remained convinced that Jupiter would clean the inner Solar System of all debris from his exploding planets within 10 million years. That of course should have suggested to him that he may have been mistaken about the source of (all, not just some) inner Solar System debris, but he was so sure he was on the right track that he couldn’t come to that conclusion.
