Indeed, hearsay is equally valueless to conjecture.

So what? You take intel where you get it. People like cabbies overhear talk; you take it and piece it together with everything else you have. If you think the information a cabbie provides should be discounted just ebcause he's a mere cabbie, then you also shouldn't be offended if we disregard your opinions because you're a mere fencing instructor. After all, he's at least just regurgitating what he heard while you're providing opinion. |

This thread started with one person implying a belief in faulty intel, through the linked OP story and thread title. The debate is on the validity of that evidence, with me interjecting for fun. |
