Are you claiming, in all seriousness, that until Wolter studied the KRS, not
a single expert was working from an accurate transcription? I find that
very difficult to believe, given that the stone was in the the possession of
Holand for a long time, and he took it to Europe circa 1911 or so. Nobody
inspected the stone closely enough to see the dots that Wolter say?
Suuurreee.

And the other logical quirk is this: the "secret" dots yield the date 1362.
But that date is already carved on the stone. So what was the big secret
conveyed by the dots??
