- The Jews deliberately muddled it because they didn't like who it counted to.
- Atheists late-date Daniels book because they disbelieve in predictive prophecy.
- Dispensationalists muddle it in order to create their 7-year myth in the last days.
- Preterists sneak a little gap to AD70 where they plonk 3.5 years outside of the 70 wks.
- 7th-day Adventists muddle it because their prophetess made a date mistake.
