[edit] LAIAI coin

It is a mere conjecture that the LAIAI coins (of otherwise Derronian types) are actually the coins of the Laiaians...The theory was advanced by SVORONOS in his 1919 work.-Getas75 (talk) 10:39, 22 April 2008 (UTC).

As one who is not completely on the who's who of the academia of Paionian history. Who is Svoronos? Before dismissing something as mere conjecture we should answer the following. Is he authoritative enough that his views to definitely guide academic consensus? In that case the conjecture should be sourced to the work you refered to. Is he authoritative enough that we should take his views seriously? But either not as authoritative as above, or likely to be biased on this subject. In that case the conjecture should be sourced and we should make it explicit who stated it. Is he a crackpot that any serious researcher would dismiss, in that case we should not include the conjecture unless it is corroborated. Taemyr (talk) 11:57, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
