This section is in violation with the following Wikipedia policies:

WP:NPOV WP:FRINGE WP:DUE WP:V

Section violates NPOV and FRINGE, which says that “In Wikipedia parlance, the term fringe theory is used in a very broad sense to describe an idea that departs significantly from the prevailing views or mainstream views in its particular field. Because Wikipedia aims to summarize significant opinions with representation in proportion to their prominence, a Wikipedia article should not make a fringe theory appear more notable or more widely accepted than it is. Statements about the truth of a theory must be based upon independent reliable sources. If discussed in an article about a mainstream idea, a theory that is not broadly supported by scholarship in its field must not be given undue weight,[1] and reliable sources must be cited that affirm the relationship of the marginal idea to the mainstream idea in a serious and substantial manner.”

Because of this, the edit also violates WP:DUE. The ramifications of and the historical body of knowledge on the Chelmsford Royal Commission are covered in the earlier parts of the article, which would be better fleshed out, because these are represented by the larger body of resources outside the Steve Cannane book. It skews the article to another direction which was not represented at all before the new “Legacy” section. The title of this section is also misleading.

The section “In Australian Writer Susan Gaeson's unpublished manuscript; Dark Trance, she reflects on a conversation she had with Ron Segal; the former president of the Australian Wing of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights, a Scientology affiliated organisation. In which he told Gaeson that he "was the mastermind behind the operation. It was he who decided to put Rosa into Chelmsford undercover” is not verifiable with the source: https://web.archive.org/web/20180302160356/http://www.susangeason.com/darktrance.html
