Yes they are corroded, but they didn't shrink. This isn't a t-shirt thrown in the dryer. There is no way that corrosion would make the pieces smaller. Just these breast plates. All of them more or less uniformly.
Face it the historical pieces can NOT fit together as Sean advocates. That is why he adjusts the sizes and shapes in order to fit his theory.
The mystery is why in this case he does not adjust his theory to match the evidence rather than the other way around.
shrink?
