1 - is not new, this has been reported
2 - i dont find particularly revealing or proof of anything, hasnt casey made plenty of other inconsistent statements much more damning than this?
3 - yes, very strange, hopefully it has been investigated further
there is nothing wrong with pondering things and throwing out ideas, i have never implied or said that there was anything wrong with that.
if people cant see it then i dont know what to say, i dont feel strongly enough about it to go back and copy and paste a bunch of examples of it. just an observation, that no shortage of others have also made.
