Dear Govert,
I think Masters did not intend to do everything plain in the beginning of the TS. Perhaps HPB also knew this. It is quite possible that Masters wanted to give some idea of Theosophy through HPB and had planned to give in detail knowledge later through Besant and Leadbeater.
Common sense tells us that Theosophists should not make the same mistake which fundamentalists do.

That prompted this interesting question whether anybody has checked references given by Blavatky. It is very strange that there is no popular book dealing with accuracy and inaccuracy of her references. For last many months my inner voice is telling me to do assessment of Blavatsky's writing. But you can imagine it is more convenient to see if anybody has done it already.
