I think it's probably fairly well accepted now that all methods exist in 
theory and only remain to be discovered in practice. If this is true of 
methods then why not also of the essentially simple extensions of 
methods into peals by means of calls?  In fact, since the very much 
greater part of every peal is produced according the rules of the 
methods involved rather than by the calls how can anyone properly claim 
a peal as original by John's definition unless they also discovered the 
method?
