Subject: RE: BS: I am not an historian but........
Keith, Keith, Keith! I keep trying to get away but you keep doing it! I am only trying to help. Honest. I have pointed out over and over again, and I thought at one time you had agreed, that someone not being able to disprove your theory does not make your theory a fact. No one, well not Steve or I anyway, are saying your points are wrong. We are just saying that there is some uncertainty about them, even if that is only perceived, and because of that we are not convinced. I have said, and I think Steve did as well, that I am not a history buff let alone a(n) historian so I will leave the arduous task of ploughing through the data to the people, like you and Teribus, who enjoy it. However, when you come out with logical fallacies, like if it cannot be disproved it must be right, you do yourself no favours. Teribus, although a bit long winded for my butterfly brain at times (yes it is my fault, not yours, T.), does make sense with his analysis. He is believable and makes good arguments. 'I must be right because no-one can prove me wrong' is not a good argument.

You're welcome.
