I have no experience hunting elephants, but Taylor's assertions about this or that round stunning an elephant for this or that amount of time have been the kingpins in my personal belief that he was for the most part a fraud.
Hmmm.
While I would agree with the view that you cannot mathematically compute how long an elephant will be knocked unconscious by a given round, I would say that using the Taylor index for relative impact on elephant is a good starting point. Some people with a fair amount of elephant hunting experience agree.
I also think it is too easy to bash those who are not alive to defend themselves, like Taylor or Capstick.
