If nothing else was going on in my life and I had the drive to actually work on it nonstop, I could probably do 20 pages but not 50. (That assumes single-spaced, though.) I'm the kind of person who likes to research shit and get sources, and I can't guess how long and complex of a process that would be for this particular matter. That said, in case this was what you were getting at, my stance is "theories have the potential to become harmful to their source material if they become widespread enough to create controvery, but I can't think of an actual example of this happening so it's only a theoretical "it probably has happened once or twice" thing."
