It may not be all that plain.  I recall passages in those blue
books citing 1890 as the date.

Curious attitude; "DK's" I mean, not yours.  Disciples, in Tibet
& much of the East, usually are very, very, modest & reverent
towards their Gurus.  Since KH himself produced "certificates"
that He & Morya were responsible for the SECRET DOCTRINE, why
would a high disciple of the former write that he, the disciple,
was responsible, not his Guru? Normally, chelas due just the
opposite -- give all credit to the Guru.
