How is right knowledge achieved? By repeated trials and errors, by the survival of the stubborn.

In Manuscript E we have earlier seen how the dates September 1 and September 2 were 'underlined' in a way which should force its perceptive readers to reflect again and again.

E:31

Hora Nui 1

... We should notice that if they were in Ahu Akapu for 2 days, then these days ought to have been Hora Iti 25-26 - because they had gone to Papa O Pea in Hora Iti 20. However, they went from Papa O Pea in Hora Iti 26 (not in Hora Iti 25): ... On the twenty-sixth day of the month of August ('Hora Iti') they went from Papa O Pea to Ahu Akapu ...

E:74

Hora Nui 2

... So it seems reasonable to assume that the date Hora nui 2 given for the launching of the Royal Double Canoe had been chosen in order to establish the place for the time-frame of Bharani as coordinated from the time-frame of the Gregorian calendar ...

... Number 2 is reiterated in several ways in the text on page E:35 ...

And in the B text September 2 was illustrated with erua toga stretched high (tu).
