You mean, you presuppose that this is true because you have heard it
said, and you are not prepared to examine evidence which may suggest
something different, whereas you accept without critical examination the
libels of those who seem to support your own presuppositions. Is that a
wise scholarly approach to such issues? I can understand some caution,
but that does not justify bad-mouthing those who are trying to examine
the evidence more carefully.
