We have not been presented with any evidence . If there is evidence then it is potentially falsifiable , until then it's anecdotal
How very sad that your base level for discussion, tiompan, appears to be nothing more than scathing cynicism, distrust and provocation. It's hardly fertile ground for open and frank discussion, let alone the presentation of new ideas, is it now?

Don't you think the best way to establish he is guilty of "scathing cynicism, distrust and provocation" would be to lay out what you say together with the evidence you base it on? I must have missed it.

No-one can either ask for or supply "proof" that would be silly, but equally if you're going to opine anything it's best to say precisely what you base your opinion on so people can weigh what you say. If you don't offer any evidence they're entitled to say you aren't offering any evidence and they shouldn't be criticised for so doing.

After more than 50 posts you(se) still have provided nothing , conveniently ignoring anything that proves awkward and when stuck getting personal and patronising , probably the only way you can still get some attention seeing as there is nothing else .
Look back at the earlier posts there was ample opportunity to present "new ideas " . Nigel S has responed eloquently enough to your post so I'll not bother any more except .

Yer a bam .
