You DID read his discovery concerning the non-gun flash causes, didn't you? I commend Ian for the honesty he has shown in presenting the conclusion that I'm sure was both counterintuitive to him and flew in the face of the way he suspected the US government of operating in this case, a position he had made more than well known.
Joe,
The difference between you and he is that he waited until all the
evidence was in, while you insisted on a position that countered all the
existing evidence from the beginning, without any evidentiary foundation
for your insistence. Sure you were proven out here, but would YOU be man
enough to admit it if it had gone the other way? I doubt it.
