Based on my interpretation of Cleather's books (GREAT BETRAYAL and HPB 
AS I KNEW HER), I tend to feel that, in simple, or "exoteric terms," 
the Besant/Leadbeater leadership was nincompoopish as compared to the 
previous, HPB-influenced leadership, in that (among other things?) 
the Besant leadership failed to preserve the original, unedited 
version of SD III. Or is the original version of SD III privately 
preserved somewhere, maybe? Publically preserved? ^:-/

If Besant had trouble figuring out about HPB's specialness as a 
messenger, and if Besant couldn't see that as a result of that 
specialness it might be a "good idea" to maybe preserve such as SD III 
as she found it, well ... what can I say. But of course I might have 
failed to see some relevant perspective with respect to the 
Besant/Leadbeater leadership (among other things?), for all I know, 
which is one reason why I'm siging off with:

Speculatively,
