Excuse me, but does Dougg actually think he knows more than RAshi????
It's not particularly that Dougg knows more than Rashi knew, but rather that Dougg views the NT as having the same authority as the Tanach. So if the NT does indeed have authority...Dougg is dealing with much more scripturely authoritive information than Rashi delt with....and this additional information, it seems, would allow a greater potential to pin point the dates in question. I don't see Dougg showing any disrespect, he is only responding from a different perspective.
