Hi @Travis,
I think I can see your point of view.
Franko has a peculiarly intimate knowledge of Grant's theories. Maybe Grant felt more confident marketing his theories under an alias!
Franko hasn't made many claims for himself on a low vitamin-A diet. The claim that he is most remembered for was that Little Caesar's pizza made him feel worse! As has been pointed out, this doesn't prove a near-zero vitamin A diet is best.
While this seemed odd at the time, perhaps it was a deliberate tactic by Grant to take away any reliance we might put into the fictional Franko's experiences.
Grant had already supplied his own true testimony in his blog and books. He also had his gerbil experiments. He did not want to deceive us into believing in a low vitamin A diet due to a fictional testimony.
So as Travis said, Franko shouldn't be too upset by these speculations if he is not Grant, and I now suggest others should not be too upset if he is.
Does that make everybody happy, or angry? Would Grant's credibility be gone for good? Does Franko have any interest outside of Grant?
