Can we get video of each of them saying the same words? And since that soft "T" is sometimes so soft it's hard to hear, we could ask them to specify whether or not they believe those words to have a soft or silent T at the end. Tell them it's "research." This can and should be done. Would be quite entertaining and educational cuz I'm certain the experts won't all be in agreement.
