I dunno, i think any information worth knowing is both worthy of and open to debating. If you soak in all information without debating about it you are liable to "soak in" and end up repeating quite a lot of falsehood. As for what is "the general perception in the marketplace"...well that area is rife with misconception. If you chose to accept it all as fact that is, of course, your business.
BTW, what i actually wrote was "kraton quality" keris, which is not the same as resticting the use of tangguh strictly to keris made solely for the kraton.
