"lox, I have said that I accepted that hypothesis, because of who proposed it and because no other has been proposed"

Oh right - I forgot - the content of a hypothesis and its robustness when scritinized are not important factors.

What matters is that if one of our feudal lords pronounceth that the blackamooors have funny ways, we should doff our hats and ready our pitchforks.

That and a report that there may be allegations, of whose contents we cannot be sure, or indeed of who actually made them, or how many, is sufficient evidence upon which to deduce that Pakistanis are closet nonces.

All very reasonable and not even a little bit racist.

Tally ho chaps.
