Do you seriously expect naturalman to have kept copies of every BC he looked at in his official capacity?
While a company (or military unit) probably would keep copies of the bona fides of its employees, would the HR director have a private file that they would keep with them for life?
No, you’re absolutely correct. It just doesn’t seem rational that we are supposed to take his word for it when he’s contentious and belitting, as well as not appearing to be taking the issue seriously.
And the Aussie Bomford thing certianly did seem to be resolved as a forgery, and he was dissimulating about that.
I could be wrong - I’m popping in and out.
