Question about the argument from the witness.
Peace be upon the Grand Master Shlita.
The argument from the witness is very strong, that you have testimony from hundreds of thousands of people (at least) who saw it, but who knows if that is the real number. It may be much smaller. It may be that they just saw a volcano or something and mistook it for the revelation. It may be that the details of the revelation were written later, just as the New Testament was written 200 years after Jesus.
And I’m just making unproven speculations, although if it were just a logical story, yes, but the status of Mount Sinai is a supernatural story, and therefore the evidence for such a status needs to be really strong.

I am not the one asking this question, but is it possible to know what the Rabbi means when he says "tradition"? And how does it differ from various folk tales and mythologies about dragons and the like?
There are very big differences. I just finished writing about it in the first book of my trilogy, and it's hard to go into detail here. When it came out.
For now, see a not-quite-complete version of the fifth notebook here on the site.
Is there an estimated date when we will be able to read the book?
No. Currently being edited. Hopefully within a year.
