If you can't comprehend my statement above, Bruce, then I wonder what else you might be getting wrong about this case. Please reread my statement and think about it a bit.
...I believe Lepsy is the best Cooper suspect out there right now. As for back engineering his story, we may never be able to do that. But proving Lepsy’s knowledge of 727s and skydiving is irrelevant since we don’t know Cooper’s knowledge of these things. We can guess and state our opinions, but we really don’t know.
So, Everything is Just an Opinion?
None of us - ever - develop the ability to discern? Sift, sort and evaluate?
All we have is the Never-Ending Stream of Opinion?
Until we get to facts, of course. But then, what exactly is a fact? R99 says only two exist in Norjak - the T-Bar money and the laminate, which an elk hunter says he found in 1975, so that's not exactly an exact fact. Although Boeing does says that Flight 305 was missing its laminate when it came in for repairs, so it could be a real Norjak fact.
So, this is really a discussion about soft facts - how do we interpret information? How do we weigh data? For instance: When did Lisa Lepsy shout out "That's Daddy?" November 24, 1971, or several years later? And what does it mean? Is there any substantive difference?
And do the opinions of different people mean different things? For instance, is your opinion greater than mine since you have cracked cases by the dozen, whereas all I do is bitch about the FBI? How about you and Brent Ashcroft? Whose opinion carries greater weight on Dick Lepsy?
