Why might it be the last day's voting
Because you started typing before I edited silly.

You cannot deny that, for over a day now, you have been rather single-minded in directing your comments.
In spite of Fordim's certainty paranoia, this actually speaks in my favor. At the very least it argues that my theory should be tested. I've not changed my argument since DAY TWO, even at considerable risk to myself (risk that I welcomed because it would test what I said).

At this stage I don't think that we can afford to be single minded, not during the first part of the day anyway. Surely it is better to review the possibilities with an open mind and then come to a conclusion.
As I noted above, I think my consistency in arguing this says that my theory should be put to the test.

I'm not afraid to be wrong. If you play this enough it is simply inevitable that at some point you will be hilariously and spectacularly wrong. When that happens you have a good laugh at yourself when everything is over (along with everybody else, no doubt) and that is that. However, when you are "in the village", if you are convinced of something it is best to argue for it as best you know how. What benefit is it to you or anybody else to be timid about it? The people who continually try to deflect you likely have something to hide. The possibility of uncovering them alone makes it worth trying if somebody is adamant about something.
