Yeah. I think he said he has seen some arguments and deliberately left things unclear on that point to keep the tension, interest going. 

One wonders whose and what argument  Jim saw.  I think though that it was in reference to WOJ's after Q&A's.

Which is why the best WoJ are recorded on video.

and those are subject a lot of the time to the whim of the transcriber. I know of at least one old video with a few gems in it largely ignored because they didn't directly relate to known subjects.... one of the original woj collection videos too. What one person would stress another would throw away as extra.

Yeah. Well, I never transcribe the entire video.  I only transcribe things I consider attention grabbing for me.  Actually, most of the time I just jot down a noted summary.  If I need precise text, I then go for the direct transcription. It takes me much time though, my memory and hearing isn't the greatest so I have to repeat the video sample over and over.  I'm also not a fast typer.

That's why I like to link the video.  I add stuff that I like but it's up to the reader to go and watch the video for all the other info.

Stole this from Reginald because it was so well put, and is true for me as well.

I agree, Mira. Also, I always did that. The real canon are the books.

Groinkick, as I am not so good with oral English, I love transcriptions. I always miss a part of the videos. So thanks again for those doing transcriptions!

Well, sure the original source material is always the most accurate source, but for those of us that dont speak the original Aramaic or have bandwidth limitations, translations and transcriptions are damn useful to have.

Yep.  So, if you want the best, most accurate WOJ watch the video. If you want a corrupted quick glance read someones summary.

I've never forced someone to accept mine as gospel.  I've transcribed portions accurately but as it pertains to a limited question and answer.  And even then, there is subtly in response that is lost with just printed transcription.

I've done the same.

In my case, it's almost everything (transcription) against a few things (video)
