I agree with you Ivan
If this Peshitta is to be revealed in the correct way to people and taken serious, then it must be free from personnal bias, doctrinal issues, old arguements, and such. In many ways, one has to remain neutral.
Everytime it is cluttered with ones personnel issues it suffers. This is no different than the greek side of it. I agree with Paul and many on here that the greek mimics the aramaic. In that sense, it does have it's worth to provide further proofs to an aramaic original,...that in itself should change a few peoples views on it.
Look at what Larry is doing in Revelation. He holds no grudge against the greek so he is able to utilize it to get a better understanding of the aramaic that appears to be behind the translation. It's all part of the investigation work.
