Your comment regarding Beaton’s death accelerating the formation of the Uk about sums up the problem here: “I need not offer any argument. I made the point.”

That attitude, along with claiming such things as historians agree that the Casket Letters are forgeries when at best the most that can be said is that there is a controversy, make this exchange unprofitable.

But one particularly absurd point that you repeated was that James couldn’t have hated Knox because he died when James was 6.

Surely you can understand that you can dislike or hate people with whom you are not personally acquainted because of real or imagined wrongs you think the person has done to you and your family. As an adult James hated Knox because he had opposed his mother, (and together with the Lords of the Congrgation)separated James as a child from his mother (I’m sure as an expert you must know that), and, especially, because Knox’s political philosophy was responsible in James’ mind for undermining the Tudor/Stuart absolutist view of monarchy.

Most of the rest of what you have to say is incoherent, or nonresponsive, so there is hardly any point to continuing with an “expert” of your caliber.

All that matters from our exchange is that you repeatedly posted that I said this or that when I did not. Honesty and accuracy are important in these discussions. You, apparently, are unfamiliar with both.
