I believe you have read that too because so have I. What I can't believe, is that you believe it.

Remember when I said "words mean different things to different people?" Well here is another example of that. You use the word "believe." That is incorrect. I don't believe that so much as I accept that it is a possibility, but not necessarily the truth.

I am in "wait and see" mode, rather than in "embrace" mode. That's one of the things I most fault with you guys. You're so d@mn certain. Certainty is often the enemy.

No. Obama wrote both documents. I have a brain and I have eyes.

And you have a willigness to jump to a conclusion you like based on very flimsy evidence. I am reminded of the "carpet fiber" evidence the FBI likes to use.

Well guess what? In case after case they discovered it's just plain garbage as evidence. Carpet fibers aren't sufficiently unique to qualify as proof.

So you think handwriting is good evidence? First of all, that sample is too small. You need quite a bit of writing to make a comparison that has a high probability of being accurate.

Even so, it's not that unusual to find people who have similar writing styles.

My eldest son's writing is virtually indistinguishable from my own. It looks like my writing.

Without a lot of material from which to make comparisons, handwriting evidence is crap.

Okay, doctor semantical.

What I most fault with your guys, is your failure to use your own brain and to rely on 'experts' to tell you the truth of what is right in front of you. It comes from a lifetime of conditioning, which is hard to throw off.

Once you come to understand that truism, the shackle removal is almost instantaneous. I know this to be a fact from personal experience and my decisive nature.

And you have a willigness to jump to a conclusion you like based on very flimsy evidence. I am reminded of the "carpet fiber" evidence the FBI likes to use.

Carpet fibers are your strawman. Carpet fibers are not handwriting. This argument is deemed irrelevant.

So you think handwriting is good evidence?

I absolutely do. Within the realm of identifying who wrote something. Outside of that, you're right. It's total crap.

First of all, that sample is too small. You need quite a bit of writing to make a comparison that has a high probability of being accurate.

Disagree, inspector.

Even so, it's not that unusual to find people who have similar writing styles.

Some might say its unusual and outside the realm of coincidence that two people in a four man meeting would have almost identical handwriting. People like me, for example. You're stretching the limits of credulity to win an argument, you self confessed contrarian.

And still losing.

My eldest son's writing is virtually indistinguishable from my own. It looks like my writing.

He copied his daddy. This is common. Obama is not Priestap's daddy. That we know of.

Without a lot of material from which to make comparisons, handwriting evidence is crap.

Define 'a lot of material', detective.

Are you one of those guys that knows everything about everything?

Both samples were written by the same hand.

Science.
