"Opinion and speculation do not need evidence". No problem. As long as all parties realize that the Scheuneman theory as of now, is totally baseless---since no evidence has been provided. It's just somewhat amazing how many people seem eager to salute the article cited as a wonderful brilliant explanation--when, so far there are precisely zero facts to support it.

It is in fact a conspiracy theory--as is recognized even by the author--who even acknowledges the idea is "diabolical". To call it a conspiracy theory is only offensive to somebody so supersensitive as to read "ad hominem" into any criticism, even obviously justified.

And, as noted earlier, opinion and speculation--with the caveat that no evidence is required--mean that anybody trying to actually learn something about the topic is wasting time.
