The Strats have two impenetrable firewalls,
Dating The Tempest (it hasn't been touched),
and, as Simonton stated, all those stylometric
studies that date the 'later plays' to a high degree of
scientific certainty but fail to reflect the politics
and events of Oxford's lifetime.

There's also Oxford's Roman Catholicism and
his involvement with his Howard cousins' attempt
at making a Counter-Reformation literary movement,
one which produced only doggerel in the form of
pamphlets written against Leicester.

That seems to suggest that Oxford wasn't the
Shakespeare of the English Counter-Reformation.

Anyway, don't worry about it. While the Strats
have been negligent in refuting the Oxfordian case,
such as it is, against Dating The Tempest (I exclude
Reedy and a few others from criticism), sooner or
later Wells and Taylor, Vickers, et al will wade in.
