It wasn't directed at you...I just get frustrated when every few days it seems we recycle and rehash issues that have been resolved and/or aren't relevant to the case. I understand that there hasn't been much new information to discuss, but there has to be a more productive use of our time.

I've heard from LE officers (and so have other posters) that hashing and re-hashing and re-hashing the re-hashs is actually how LE solves crimes that are not easily solved.
With a little luck, all that tedious rehearsing of what is know suddenly triggers a moment of insight.
I also know that's how microbiology labs work. Someone gets a result that is odd or fails to get a result and everyone goes around and around in circles on it until someone suddenly goes "well, what if...?"
It seems to me that most people don't learn or think in a straight line process. There's loops and swirls and backtracks and ups and downs until all of a sudden, something happens.
It's messy. It's biological. It's not binary and it is darn near impossible to teach a computer to learn the way humans learn.
Or, as my mama would have said, every beautiful garden benefits from a lot of compost. She could grow anything!
