That very well may be true. My point was simply that there are different versions of the same story, and which one is true likely depends on the person telling the story. Of course, I respect George Martin, but no doubt he is very protective of the Beatles and their history, and so I very much doubt he would say, even if true, that Best was a great drummer and we dumped him because he was more popular at the time than John and Paul, and they were afraid he would be the dominant personality in the band going forward, so we hired a drummer with a big nose and who was a bit of a goofball.
