Well, it's hard to argue against a conspiracy theory since I don't have all of those details. All I can say is that it went through 3 years of consideration before it was retired. The discussion started in 2015 in Subcommittee and the final decision was made in 2017 by the Committee on Cooperation with the Professional Community.?
It was also discussed that perhaps a future brochure with service material containing some of AA's long history of communication with the Professional Community might be more appropriate than something written by Bill lo these many years.?
Personally I am going to review the pamphlet to see what might be considered "outdated" medically speaking and which might now even be considered as "outside issues" by AA and which might not represent AA well to the modern medical professional and the fact that AA has no opinions on medical issues. Any other factual historical information will be appreciated.?

Ahhh but therein lies the rub.
If that is the actual reason, some arbitrary issue of "tone" then we had better retire Doctor's Opinion, A Member's Eye View, Jack Alexander, even the 12 and 12, to name only a few, before somebody gets "hurt."?
That being said, I have some pretty strong evidence (that I am still following up on) that the motion and decision to retire it was made entirely out of order and in a way that can be argued is very much against the Traditions and Concepts.
Intrigued? So am I. This is why I have spent so much time, money and energy investigating this. The very fact that certain real answers have been so difficult to obtain and the fact that certain parties have told me conflicting answers that can only be seen as sketch at best has turned this simple question, ("What exactly, EXACTLY is wrong with it?") into quite the adventure in detective work.
So far, everything I am finding in my quite thorough investigation of the past few years points to Three Talks being a victim of "cancel culture" and little else.
