 'Misinterpreted' would probably have been better than 'misunderstood'',  you
said::

>You initially stated that:

properly processed silver image --> archival

and now stating

improperly processed silver image --> not archival

These are different arguments.<

My statement above not carry the same meaning as your interpretation of it.
You have also taken it out of context..

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

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