His recent manual does not use that nomenclature and recent grads say he never used it at school this year.

So when you said that Evans refered to a position as "D", I was surprised, to say the least.
I find this to be one of Evans' qualities I like least. If he didn't "invent" it, he acts like it doesn't exist. Listening him describe the B position and subsequently use that description instead of then saying "the B position" is silly.
