yes; this seems important.

>(abnormally warm).

remind me James; how many of these proxy records go up to 2004, and how
many show the unprecedented and abnormal warming ? As opposed to the
instrumental record...

Let me rephrase the question again. If you are asserting that other
reconstructions support MBH, how do we know that is so ? If someone
else has done a reconstruction, is that in itself enough to support MBH
? Does it have to be within 0.1C ? Does it have to be within the +/-
two sigma range, or can a line be within that two sigma range, but
still be inconsistent with MBH ?

I notice you are quite wilfully neglecting to comment on the fact that
different authors plot the same "spaghetti plot" data, and get
considerably different results with the same data.
