Interesting observation.
I have long had the impression that Oswald is vigorously a perfectionist,
as was manifested by the ongoing editing/evolving of the Mystery Tapes
series. And when they were no longer "good enough" or current or what
have you, they were withdrawn from the public ear.
So within that context, yeah, I'm sure there's tons of stuff which he's
done and hasn't released because he didn't like it enough. Whether this
gives him license to claim that he invented something-or-another is
contestible.
