I think that it is more true to say that Olsen and Fanning see the future as
a pure tense ("only time") which does not convey aspect ("view of the event
or state"). That doesn't mean that the future is an orphan, it just means
that it is a pure tense.

Porter and Fanning have very different basic approaches. Proving one of them
to be "simply wrong" would not prove the other one to be wrong.
