There is no evidence of anything. Just because there is no traceable evidence does not mean nothing happened.
There is no evidence of Jesus Christ but millions of people believe.
There are also millions of people who have believed in dowsing throughout the ages; who believed in Peter Popoff; who believed in James Hydrick; who believed in Uri Geller.
James Randi has debunked them all.
Appeal to authority, tradition, popular opinion...these are all logical fallacies. Just because 'millions' (or a select, enlightened few) believe something, it ain't necessarily so, as the song goes.
No-one could ever prove that MS didn't do it, because this is proving a negative. Authorities say no trauma, the conspiracy theorists invent some non-traumatic method; authorities say he has an alibi, conspiracy theorists invent henchmen; this just goes on and on and on. And it is completely illogical and unfounded.
Come back to Reason, please.
