""I said I had been convinced because of the stature of those people, and because no other explanation had emerged.""

Every time you are asked a question which you can't, or don't want to answer, you try to offload your oft repeated theories onto your "sources" so-called, all of whom have actually remained well short of reaching the same conclusion.

Answer the question! How do you justify a conclusion about a culture, based solely on cherry picking a minority of that culture, and ignoring the majority, which destroys your theory?
