Purported
"purportedly describing his purported near-death experience"

I deleted both purpoteds. Reason: Skepticism is my thing too, but that one is just silly. --Hob Gadling (talk) 05:44, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
 * "Purportedly describing" would be correct if the blurb said it described his experience, but actually, the book is about something else.
 * What is a "purported near-death experience"? He did not experience that? Did he invent the whole thing? No, it is just his experience, and unless there is good evidence that he did not actually have it, we say he had it. That does not mean something spooky is going on.
 * OK; I get that the second "purported" is justified, but the first one still says: "the book is about something else entirely, but people claim it is about describing his purported near-death experience." --Hob Gadling (talk) 06:53, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
 * The use of purported is due to the fact that the very idea he was dead has been challenged due to inconsistencies and changes in the story of his claimed NDE. RobP (talk) 16:19, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
