Interesting and heavy discussion...also an example of how academic careers are made, by causing a stir in the academic world. I think the first writer makes assumptions about Balthazar's state of mind, intentions and assumption that go beyond good taste and into mindreading.
He has been the person to shoot arrows at lately. Multiple academic careers will be made in the process.

Dr. Pitstick's thesis gets my vote. It was finished when Christ, on the cross, said it was finished.
John 19:30 When Jesus had taken the wine, he said, "It is finished." And bowing his head, he handed over the spirit.
