Seriously though the Japanese theory has been around since before the photograph was discovered. I did not say I believe it, which I don't really. I have hard time believing that there are no records from the Japanese that would have documented this if it happened.
Hmm, I missed that followup exposing that photo as something else later misidentified.
At least they don’t seem to have used Lois Gibson as the forensic “expert” who’s falsely identified Robert Johnson in some poorly mis-dated photos and other sketchy claims.
