Marchant contends (with a bunch of evidence, not speculation) that Price made some important technical decisions that were easy and emotional, rather than professional and scientific.
Price's "Gears from the Greeks" is still the most * popular * article about the device, because for a very long time it was the only article. But a large amount of new research in the past few years uses much more advanced technical imaging and includes analysis of forgotten pieces of the device to which Price never had access -- pieces that severely change the device's story.
