Irrational: I admit I haven't looked into the whole Bethlehem/Nazareth business in as much detail as the other things. So I may well change my mind if I study that further. My conspiracy angle may well seem too contrived, even for me. However, as a separate issue, it's still hearsay and is subject to the criteria on my list.
So I stand by what I say in my checklist. Do you want to challenge an actual point in it? What have I said that you think is wrong? I've allowed for the possibility that they intended to base the story in part on a historical figure. I don't know what you mean by "I have drawn my conclusions", they are a summary of what I feel I have learnt so far. Am I not allowed to summarise? They are not set in stone. I've tried to allow for the things we can't possibly know for sure. I'm perfectly willing to change my mind if I'm presented with a good reason, or indeed from further study. Like I said, my research is far from complete. It's a learning process. But just telling me I'm wrong isn't helpful, as some people like to do.
