I’m no expert, but what are the chances that it is not Dicky the Third? Based on statistical evidence, pretty slim I’d say. I saw the program where they recovered the bones.

Six lines of evidence sounds pretty convincing, but I guess it is wise for the experts to want to see all of the papers first. But this dissenter is not too convincing, IMO.
