Well yes, "or nearly so." Sure. Certainly a lot closer to OS than the CC situation, that's obvious. But John Crowley is building up his timelines with these bitty little details, and unless you yourself have cracked the encyclopedia, I don't know that you know that in R101 crashed in OS 1930 and in C2 1935 (or thereabouts). Is this one, tiny detail enough? Hard to say, maybe. But it is a difference that JC has signalled, however obscurely. =mantis=
