Awkward Sentence
"The book dispelled the former academic belief that Polynesians colonized the islands haphazardly by drifting and without the lack of navigation aids." (emphasis mine)

I was brought by the DYK hook, btw - very cool. The sentence above reads strange - this may be a failure of my own perception, but the bolded portion appears to be a double negative - 'without' and 'lack', and for context I believe should read more along the lines of:

"...that Polynesians colonized the islands haphazardly by drifting and without navigation(/al) aids."

As a fresh DYK article I did not want to be too bold for this change; likely I am just not comprehending correctly. Ignore me, if so! King keudo (talk) 15:41, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
