In my point of view there is significantly greater evidence in support of the position I and others have taken which requires fewer speculative assumptions to reach and which fits uniformly into pre-existing patterns of writing done within the setting.
I guess my question at this point becomes, how so? If neither can be proven, how are they not on equal ground? We both have evidence for and against at this point.
