Seems like about 30 years ago, I remember an article about a speckle
interferometry project in Sky & Tel that supposedly showed actual spots
on Betelguese. I'm wondering what the big brag is for only
illustrating the shape of a star today (Regulus for e.g.) if they were
capable of imaging a star surface years ago?

Very likely you have missunderstood the article, in your zeal
to missunderstand and confuse and lie to yourself and everyone?

Tut, tut...
