That sounds right to me, provided one reads “there is no evidence” as a statement about what evidence is present before anyone goes looking for it (“there is no evidence we are yet aware of”). In other words: before any evidence exists and before the investigation is made, it's a mistake to reach any conclusion about the truth of the charge. -- \ “I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much | `\ as a week sometimes to make it up.” —Mark Twain, _The Innocents | _o__) Abroad_ | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
