I may be biased, but the quoted Swiss "expert" was simply blind and deaf.
Where are arguments?
You neglect the Act of Tilsit, disregarding that most of the national governments of the 1920s were self-proclaimed in the beginnig. You may call it opportunistis, but nontheless it proves that some and quite considerable part of the leaders of the Lithuania Minor pursued those national, cultural and other ties, which were so deliberately neglected by the Swiss "expert".
If we compare by Lithuanians created national council - Lietuvos Taryba, with this self-declared Prussian Lithuanian council that declared so-called Act of Tilsit they, Prussian Lithuanian representatives would be just pretenders.
Lietuvos Taryba was elected 214 by representatives from Samogithia and Lithuania. Who elected Prussian Lithuanian council?
Lietuvos Taryba at least tried incorporate as much as possible members, even Poles and Byelorussians. How many Germans were included into Prussian Lithuanian council? No one. A minority proclaims political act which applies to all inhabitants of so-called Lithuania Minor people and no represenative of majority is included. Peak of audacity!
And what about Ludwig Rhesa writing poems in honour to Vytautas and his wife Anna? Recognition of common heroes means recognition of common history and thus common fate, doesn't it?
Ludwig Rhese even wasn't Prussian Lithuanian. He was Curonian by ethnicity and imagined that Gedimin was Curonian too, so he imagined that glorifies "own" duke and his descendants...
