[r-t] History

[King, Peter R]

I don't think it detracts one  bit from the intellectual achievement of a bobs only extent of Stedman Triples. Similarly if anyone manged to cram all 42 "regular" surprise minor into 5040 I would be similarly impressed. I don't see how a small number of 5012s (or whatever) of triples that would actually be ring detracts from these achievements or the history at all.

For Triples, I would say you are fully disrespecting history!

Recent history as well as ancient. Why should we care much about the
heroic efforts of Wilde, Johnson et al if we can ring a peal of Stedman
Triples with 5000 changes and bobs only?

Triples is the stage where a peal needs to be an extent.
