AaronP now you are just being rediculious, thats not a contradiction at all. Eventide is 100% correct. I have a ball python at my house. That is either true or not true. Proof does not make it so, it is or it isn't. When I take you to my house and show you my BP then you have proof. You know whether its true or not. Truth exists regardless of proof. Proof is what reveals the truth.
And again short of genetic testing we are in fact doing a trial by jury. BHB, NERD or any of the other breeders telling us one way or the other is trial by jury. We decide the truth based on a consensus. So no, you are not talking cold hard facts at all.
