This won't wash, this attempt at throwing in a red herring.
My qualifications - or lack of them - is NOT the issue here. It is
the claim that only Prabhupada's translation of the Geeta is blemishless
and faithful and the others have 'defects.' You made the claim, you
back it up. To use your own words, the burden of proof is on you.

Gee, "ISKCON blather" has really thrown your operating system into a
loop, Tandy. Are you okay?

Okay, I hereby withdraw and void my "ISKCON blather" and instead replace it
with "ISKCON Wisdom." Now focus on addressing your unsubstantiated claim.
And don't forget to look up the GHEN archives for my ISKCON post.
