I feel that you’ve raised some fair questions about the certificate numbering sequence (not that your were needing me to step in and validate them). To be honest, for Sunahara’s certificate to be seemingly offset by a few hundred births seems to me as somewhat less significant than others regard it to be. I especially feel that way given the late name and the transfer of hospitals and the early death of Virginia.
What I consider to have considerably greater relative importance regarding the Sunahara certificate are these facts:
(-) When the short form COLB was originally released, it was released with the serial number concealed, though there was no credible reason that anyone could have suspected it to be un-publishable.
(-) When Butterdezillion (I take her word as fact) made an index data inquiry about Sunahara with the HDOH, she was told there were no records responsive originally.
(-) When Duncan Sunahara and Dean Haskins approached the HDOH in person about the long form, they encountered a bizarre reaction of stalling before being curiously kicked out of the building at closing time.
(-) When Hawaii was sued on behalf of Duncan Sunahara, they resorted to a defense that was clearly full of absurd exaggerations (read bald-faced lies), but that seemed a better approach to them than for them to give him a photo copy of the certificate.
(-) Hawaii took that defensive approach despite the fact that it made their tact considerably vulnerable to accusations of favoritism—they were willing to make an exception for someone with extraordinary resources, but not for the brother (of modest means) of a deceased baby sister. I admit their gamble paid off on that count, however, thanks to the media’s complicit cooperation.
In my opinion, the number appearing on Sunahara’s short-form could have been right in line with Obama’s and I still would feel that the circumstantial evidence is fully sufficient to prompt a larger investigation as well as outrage in the press (were it not so leftist).
I realize your main points here have been about the numbering and whether or not it implications are all that meaningful, but I’m curious if you feel the other issues I’ve mentioned relating to the alleged Obama B.C. serial number and to the still-hidden Sunahara certificate can be easily explained as innocent.
“When the short form COLB was originally released,...un-publishable.”
Are you talking about Obama’s or Sunahara’s?
If Obama, the explanation they (Obama campaign) gave was that they didn’t know if the number revealed personal info. Is that unreseaonable? Well, WND redacted the BC # for the girl born on 8/23/61, and Alan Booth’s LFBC has the cert # blocked out (although his COLB doesn’t), and the cert # for the LFBC obtained by WND in March, 2011 has the last digits of the cert # blocked out. So obviously other people besides Obama feel the number needed to be hidden.
If you are talking about Sunahara’s, I wasn’t aware of that.
As to the rest of your points. IMO, at the DOH office the name Sunahara is associated with birther. If Duncan Sunahara had contacted the DOH two years ago and said that he wanted to get a copy of his sister’s BC for geneology purposes, he probably would have gotten at the least an uncertifed copy. By the time Duncan showed up at the DOH, they were in no mood to accommodate him. Unfair? Absolutely. Petty? Absolutely. Typical bureaucratic behaviour? Absolutely.
As to going to court, IMO that was partly because of the name Sunahara and mostly to perserve their authority to determine the type of certificate that the DOH issues.
