You're probably right, Greg.
My point -- at least initially -- was to utilize this example of what I consider to be reckless abandonment of research principles and general reasoning as a teaching moment.
Then came the evasions of a sort that I identify with, among others, Ralph Cinque and "Albert Doyle."
Enough has been said. My point has been made.
The original assertion, in all of what I would term its reckless certitude, remains unsupported by fact. And so I submit that the person who made it simply cannot show us how he reached his conclusion without exposing himself to ridicule.
Let all who care to consider these facts make their own judgments. Mine is that he is hoisted on his own petard.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
