Dear Martin,
I do hope you get my sense of humour in addition to my seriousness. I don't
seem to have been able to to untwist your warps yet.
It seems that you understand that what you know already. What you understand
seems that what exits from a grate or sieve of a concocted and preset set of
rules about evidence. Like in a court of law. One needs to use ALL one's
senses totally, not just those that we are now trendily using and only to a
certain trendy extent. It seems that you first decide what evidence should
be like then you only see 'what-ever', if it conforms to your preset
expectations of what evidence should be like. You use your senses the way
Polaroid glasses work, filtering out waves of a certain alignment and
direction. You may see the world without glare and it may look very
consistent and tidy, but that tidiness is only the result of the filter.

I don't think you will make a good sleuth.
Evidence? When you look for consistency you will not find evidence. A
criminal or trickster is very aware of that.
Evidence has to be gathered, you have to be willing to enter chaos, enter
the amazon forest, you find it in non-consistent places, the places that the
criminal overlooked, or the trickster knew you would not look.
Also,
Problem with e-mail is that we cannot see the writer's tongue in cheek when
we are reading posts. You are from UK right, is it hard to maintain a stiff
upper lip while having your tongue in your cheek and .... Oh my God did I
just put my foot in my mouth
BTW. It will not be too long before that thing about left and right brain
functionality will be debunked. Now, you say you that you are a skeptic, you
should have been be a skeptic when you first read about that ....Hehehehe?
Wim, in love and jest and seriously.
