"Tricks of the Trade"

As an example of shoddy practices I would like to point this out...I lifted this from the article on "Assyrians".

"Distinctively Akkadian language names are attested into the Sassanid period (224 AD to 651 AD), before they were generally but not wholly replaced by Christian names."

...where are they "attested" to? or is it just claimed that they are "attested to"...somewhere?

..I clicked on the words "Akkadian language"...and "Sassanian", as they were highlined in blue and presumably would supply a list of these "attested to" names. But all I got was some information about the Akkadian language and then some about the Sassanians...but nothing showing actual Akkadian names which are "attested to", which the article claims were used during the Sassanian period. The article did not deliver what it implied was a fact...no Akkadian names appeared. The entire article, or those parts dealing with "evidence" that Assyrians always existed, to the present day, is shot through with such trickery. I repeat, if the article is claiming that Akkadian, and therefore REAL Assyrian names were in use even centuries later during the time of the Sassanian Empire, then why not list those names...why imply it and then leave it at that?"

...why indeed.....because there is NO EVIDENCE for it, that's why....but who's going to read so closely as to find these tricks? Another assyrian? Hardly. The white people there?...what do they know or care?...besides as volunteers, who presumably have to earn a living at something, they haven't the time.

...only toors trooli who apparently has time to burn. Truth is I get up early and stay up late, times when there is no good light to sculpt by...and I CARE...for truth, for accuracy, and I don't like mealy-mouthed liars! Most of all, this nationalist crap has to be exposed for what it is.
