[edit] Some problems

There seem to be a number of problems or inaccuracies in this present account. For example, it's puzzling to refer to a Spanish view of their invincibility when of the two expeditions to Yucatán which preceded Cortés', the first was quite disastrous and in the second they suffered badly in some encounters. And debating that we only have Aguilar's word that Guerrero existed would be contradicted by accounts such as Bernal Diaz's (also a main source for information on Aguilar himself). Perhaps the argument is put forward by whatever source was used, but from the structure it's rather difficult to tell what source that was.--cjllw | TALK 14:21, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
