Scientific paper

Cautionary comments are made about recent papers which assume that the Magellanic Stream was pulled out of the Magellanic Clouds during a close encounter with the Galaxy. Further strong evidence is put forward in support of the alternative explanation that the gas clouds of the Stream are primordial and in the unbound orbit of the Magellanic Clouds about the galactic center.
