That may well be. I just hadn't read it before. I probably started skimming the Zullo topics around about the tenth "we'll soon be announcing earth-shattering evidence!!!" announcement.
The idea that the Federal codes were meant as a way to record what was on the state birth certificates, not for the state employees to encode what was on their own certificates, is so obvious that I'm annoyed with myself for not having thought of it before.
Unless you read the manual, and summaries, and re-read them, then applied what you had learned to what was ON the BCs, why it was there, when it was applied, and used a little logic, you wouldn’t have been in a position to figure it out.
If you weren’t intensely interested in it for some reason, you wouldn’t have put yourself through all that.
LOL, I take it you never read my research on the obama birth announcements? Too bad I can’t actually write - I’d have a lot more readers. I do unbiased amateur research, and when I write about my findings I do it in a way that includes the process/journey. Most people can’t slog through it :).
