Strange Angel cite
The book does have that on that page, but it's in a list of tall tales about and by Hubbard recounted by other residents of Jack Parsons' place. The list also includes claims like escaping from the Japanese on Java and sinking two submarines. This is merely a cite that Hubbard made that claim, not that it was true.

 * On the other hand, unlike Hubbard's claims of escaping from the Japanese on Java and sinking two submarines, the claim that he adapted the screenplay from his own novel is not that implausible. It would be less plausible if Columbia's claims that the serial was based on Treasure Island were more plausible, but as one of one of our existing citations comments, "The 'secret' was probably that the serial had little relationship with the Stevenson classic." (Harmon & Glut, p. 329)  I've revised the passage so that it describes the conflicting claims of Columbia and Hubbard as claims and cites the claims. -- 65.78.13.238 (talk) 15:50, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
