The problem is that elusive leads are what there is to work with, for the most part. Dreams is fiction blended with bits of fact, fact twisted, fact diluted - it's neither fish nor fowl. And separating the two is much more difficult than throwing the entire thing out, what to speak of the willful foolishness of blind belief!

You used the word evidence again:

It also means being careful not to overstate your evidence.

Leads are not evidence, but they may lead to evidence. You want "solid evidence" - we ALL do! - that's where investigation may lead - either to solid evidence or dead ends, and such paths need to be followed for a ways before it's clear which it is - fact or fiction.

Holding on to what one thinks the end is, before you get there, is not the way to find the truth. One has to be willing to find the truth, even if it shocks and disturbs everyone including oneself.

It means not prematurely or improperly rejecting widely corroborated claims, such as the claim that SAD was Barry's mom, which have not been disproved with any solid evidence.

There is also no solid evidence that she is. The "corroborated claims" in regards to the Stanley Ann's being the mother of Zero are just that - claims. And because FR is widely read is all the more reason to follow leads where ever they go.

I salute all those who follow elusive leads, trying to find the truth behind the myth of the man in the White House.

“The ‘corroborated claims’ in regards to the Stanley Ann’s being the mother of Zero are just that - claims.”

The evidence supporting the claim that Stanley Ann is Barry’s mother is credible and, frankly, overwhelming, IMO as a retired Certified Fraud Examiner.

There literally is no credible evidence that she is NOT Barry’s mother, based on my forensic training and experience.

Well-stated. BUMP-TO-THE-TRUTH!
