I'm not sure how much energy or interest I have to follow this rabbit hole much further. Maybe others can give their opinions, as that's all I have - opinion. You bring up "facts". That's like immutable truth, or reality. It's well known even eye-witnesses and even video now of an incident are not totally reliable. So what is the "proof" of "facts"? In the end, it's up to each of us to either believe a claim or not, and is a result of how much time and energy we want to exert to qualify it. We have, or should have, become leery of blind acceptance of everything and it's sometimes exhausting. We only have ourselves to form a basis on how we react to or believe the world around us, and the effort we put into trying to persuade others to see the same viewpoint.
