In fairness I think we would have to say that the word "completely" 
is left out and that this is sloppy English. That seems inevitanle 
since the letters disagree with everyone on some things and agree 
with everyone on others. It is therefore absurd for them to say that 
Adwaita Vedanta, for example, is completely false and that their 
system, which agrees with the AV in some ways, is at the same time 
completely true. Let me therefore suggest te following reading:

There is also another problem inasmuch as "such evidence as we are 
preparing to give" does not validate or vindicate the entire system.
