Which is all as I assumed, so I can now happily take the place of the orthodoxy (I won't go so far as to claim correctness, but at least if my theory is wrong then Gregs is too).

The Kitori main debate is the question of dominant religion, which you have happily solved to my satisfaction.
However there are other Kitori debates which are also ongoing, which probably results in the confusion, as they all tend to be debated simultaneously. Other questions about the Kitori (many of which originate with John Castellucci in RQA # 4) include -
Their tribal boundaries
Their numbers
Their place in the Volsaxi confederation (or not)
Their ownership (or not) of Whitewall
The incidence of Arkat worship among them
And as all of these tend to get argued simultaneously, it can get
rather confusing. Add to this that it is all too easy to end up thrashing
out the minor details in digest public rather than email private, ending up
with a complex discussion of very minor points, and it is easy to produce a
very silly debate. I have answers to most of the questions I want to ask,
so I will try and avoid debating it in the digest in future. Email me if
you have any interest.
Cheers
David
