With all due respect, you seem to have missed my point.

There is no scientific proof for any of this. There is no science.

So things like comparing time gaps between things does not have any relevance.

To say the longer the time gap the less evidence one side has against the other—or even vice versa—has no meaning whatsoever. Not scientifically, not in terms of probability, nothing.

I think when the public schools gave way to private “schools” in the South, we basically lost our concept of scientific truth.
