You won't see it this way but ... what Merrick made was an educated guess. Knowing anything about Eno would lead anyone to that conclusion. Yeah Merrick could have gone and double-checked that point but so could have you. In fact, wouldn't it have been better to have come back going 'Oy Merrick, you're wrong, Eno sold all his publishing & recording rights to Company X'. But no, you couldn't be bothered to look it up, happy to just play the coveted & lazy role of devil's advocate. Well done. What a stirring discussion you have provoked.
