Talk:Jellicoe:Controversy and Dismissal

re: "There is a story that a minute by Jellicoe was "almost incoherent" with the result that Geddes was prompted to endorse it, "Better not use this argument."[3] The tale has been repeated elsewhere,[4][5] but the originator later noted that the negative endorsement was not written by Geddes, but probably by someone in Cabinet.[6] In the editor's opinion, the paper in question, "Remarks on a Scheme of an Imperial Air Policy" (dated 14 August, 1917),[7] makes perfect sense."

I am not sure I see in there that Geddes might not be making such a harsh evaluation of the sanity of the argument -- may he merely have been indicating he thought it unpolitic or suboptimal in some fashion? Tone 04:58, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

That's a good point, which I wish I'd thought of! Simon Harley 12:34, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
