Well, Ben, the fact that one of Swedens foremost document examiners has just said that Toppys writing tallies with the police report to such an extent that he can hardly be ruled out as the writer, actually makes him an EXTREMELY likely candidate.
"Can hardly be ruled out" = "extremely likely candidate"...?!?
There must be some language barrier/issue here, because in English, an assertion that something cannot be ruled out bears not the slightest resemblance to "extremely likely candidate". "Cannot be ruled out" is more akin to "not impossible", and is a long way from the ringing endorsement you've come away from.
With sincere respect, that's a significant misinterpretation.
No, Ben, but then again, you read Leander in much the same fashion as the devil reads the Bible, don´t you?
I quoted directly from his letter.
He said that there could be numerous explanations to the deviances.
who is in fact so close a match that there is nothing that rules him out as the possible writer
And what did I say? I said that Leander may have reasoned
Don´t you think that Leander is sure that it could have been the same man?
Did or did not Leander identify a whole number of possible explanations to the deviances?
Leander did not say "It may have been him, but it probably was not", the way you need things to be.
I'll stick with what he said, which was "cannot rule him out".
