Proof is for maths . All we can do here is look at evidence and see which explnation makes more sense.
Quote:It follows that in order to prove your side, you must demonstrate how this "rival conjecture" is untenable. I was kind enough to provide you with scholarly articles on the issue, which took days to find.
This is known as argument from authority. It wont do, except to show that there are acholars who think one way or another.
You have neglected to provide any evidence itself, and then ask ed that i show their position is untenable.
Quote:Please research both sides of the coin and finally post a substantial argument before you waste my time to patronize me.
Im not patronising. Im trying to get you to post some actual evidence rather than cutting and pasting quotes.
Wouldn't it be far more productive to look at why such and such scholar thinks this way or that?
