Show me where I EVER said that was "a fact." All I say is that the accumulated FACTS show that that is the MOST LIKELY explanation.
"Cognitive rigidity" would be claiming that no matter what the evidence says, you refuse to believe it. That is what you are demonstrating with your comments.
I'll address your other distortions when I get back. I have to leave the office for a couple hours.

Then I’ll compare it to the probability Ken’s assessment of the probability that Jdey is the mailer and see who is more certain. (He is very confident).
To clarify Ken’s theory, he theorizes that Jdey mailed the anthrax letters after making the martyrdom video.
To clarify your theory, did he write the letters before or after recess?
