Very kind of you to say so, but VERY far from the truth, because almost every day, life demonstrates to me unmistakably that t'aint so. What is true, however, is that I most certainly
strive to get the facts straight, & am skeptical about unproven statements based on no more evidence than a third party's bare assertion, which usually goes something like this: "
trust me--though I wasn't there, didn't see it myself, I was
told by unnamed parties such & such is true."
Re-reading the 1942 document, I see that I misinterpreted the remark about the start of WWII--merely one of the most important dates in world history; that wasn't the error of "anonymous," it was the error of Kimmel himself, who inserted that bit of ignorance into the text of the document.
