Aung-thwin's ad hominem attack on Andrew Huxley
Wishing to bring scholars he admires into the Mon paradigm fold presents opportunities for creatively deploying the Mon Paradigm as a weapon and lethal deterrent:
"Andrew Huxley, whose work on Southeast Asian and Burma's legal history is extremely important to the field, did not question the Mon paradigm in his earlier works, However in a later one, he began to show some doubts, writing that "...if 10th century Rammanadesa was a flourishing base for legal inventiveness, it has left very few archaeological remains to testify to the fact." But later in the same article he wrote that "Mon chronicle traditions treat these centuries in a completely legendary fashion and only enter the realms of historical narration with king Manuha's defeat by Pagan in 1057,..." thus suggesting that he still considers the latter event as historical" (The Mists of Ramanna, p. 297)
