When you are a “true believer” like Ed, FACTS that contradict your beliefs are usually turned into reinforcement of these beliefs - no matter how outlandish.
Ed’s theory as to Dr. H is that he PRESUMES/ASSUMES he did not have access.
Yet in his theory as to the former Battelle employee who worked in ordinance he ASSUMES he did have access — even though the guy thought anthrax was a virus and is not even a microbiologist.
Moreover, where the Arab News and others assumed Zack was jewish, Ed mistakenly assumed the politics of the former Battelle employee.
Ed’s theory is the same “bioevangelist” theory as BHR’s. He just has a different person in mind and is relying on his (false) assumptions rather than any sort of checking of facts or documentary evidence.
