Matt,

I don't think there is any universal consensus on this topic.


I agree. However, the number of serious historians agreeing with Jay's

That may well be, but I've not seen anyone here offer a single view on
the topic other than Jay. Many trash his view, but nobody has the
courage to offer their own view.


He hasn't got a view, he has prejudices and fears.


There;'s a difference.
