Dave Walden, having generated 1000 simulations of longitude-around noon, and arrived at a scatter of 5.68 miles rms, as reported earlier, then turned his attention to the 20 simulations I had invented. He sent me the results for deduced lat and long. In return, I then sent him the full table showing the presumed lat and long that I had taken as a starting point in each case. Dave has then analysed the difference between my 20 initial longitudes, and his deduced results, arriving at a scatter in longitude of 5.81 miles rms. This is only marginally different from his previous finding, and completely compatibe with it. I see no reason to question his result. I'm having a bit of difficulty in cobbling together an amended data set to meet Jim Wilson's method of working, but it will come.
