:Yes, Alan, you are justified in your criticism of my change, particularly the fact that that sentence did, in, fact, say what the author seemed to intend, even though it struck me as not artful, inasmuch as it sort of went back and forth between discussing Dr. Arnold and discussing the game of rugby, a situation that I was intent on repairing, though it soon became apparent that my efforts may not have actually been making it better, leading me to believe that perhaps what I was doing may not have been a good idea, particularly insofar as it required a digression into some quick research on the connections among rugby, European football, and soccer, and the discovery that, inasmuch as the game of rugby seems to have originated in the mid-19th century while "modern" soccer and football seem to date from later than that, serious doubt arose as to whether what I wound up saying about the history and lineage of these games bore any sensible connection to reality, eventually leading to my decision just to hit "save page" and hope for the best.
