Why did we all get it wrong?
To fit the parameters of the black hole orbit we
need 5 well-timed maxima.
The outbursts in 1948, 1960,1972, 1983 & 1994
seemed to fit the bill.
The 1994 outburst was the best observed one
ever and tied the model down very tightly.
But, suppose that the 1994 outburst was a
mistake?
