I have always said that we don't know the killer's ethnic background and constantly disputed basing assumptions from the wikipedia article. Yet it plainly IS possible the killer was Korean or of Korean descent. Or do you suggest that Dr. M just glanced at the haplogroups and drew a concrete conclusion, without doing multiple tests? That he is wholly misguided and nobody in 24 years anyone has realised this? That the TMPD asked him for a second opinion, of the some 800 universities in Japan, at random?A lot of people have come to believe that the killer has strong ties to Korea for some reason, and I've seen this haplogroup data being spread around as a possible link.
We do not know the killer's ethnic background. There is a chance he is Korean, Chinese, Japanese, or anything else. But the only person (let alone expert) outside of the TMPD to analyse that DNA felt that likelihood decreased in order. So with respect to your interest in archaeogenetics, I don't think his analysis can be rejected out of hand. Or if it can, please provide some evidence. Short of that, this argument becomes circular.
What is unhelpful is to assume error or shortcoming without having the full understanding of the work. Moreover, the word "may" is a modal verb that expresses possibility, thereby implying the existence of an alternative scenario. There is no alternative scenario. If I say the data was leaked, then the data was leaked. It is a fact which I have verified from multiple sources. Arguing with the author of the thread is contrary to TOC.This data may have just been written and leaked by someone related to the university or something. I have no association to any individual that you mentioned and I obviously respect anyone's hard work.
But it's still wrong.
