With respect, Brian, you've extrapolated my "similar references" to "a general consensus wherein the majority supports the belief." I said nothing about a consensus.

You want the names of those who "believe, support and publicize this belief"---referring apparently to a consensus---agreement of opinion--- introduced by you, not me.

I would be pleased to oblige if you're asking for a source of "similar references." I mentioned one I read recently, if memory serves, in Maclean's by Paul Wells, one the country's most respected authors and columnists.

But let's be clear: reference and consensus are two different things. In the military, it could be the difference of an opinion---a reference---or a firing squad, from a consensus she deserved to die!
