Misinterpret would probably have been better than 'misunderstood'', you

and now stating

These are different arguments.<

My statement above does not carry the same thought as your interpretation of
it.

You would find it difficult to demonstrate that my statement that there are
untoned silver prints from160 yeats ago in good condition. There are very few
admittedly given the lack of understanding and practical experience of fixing
at the time.

In fact, it is clear that we agree as to lesser archival qualities of silver
compared with gold or platinum.
