I sorry, if I'm coming off as a little rude. I'm having a little bit of fun with this. But I tried explaining, that it doesn't follow, that because Person A said they went from X through Y to Z Locations, and that Y is out of the way between X and Z (I think it was by 20 miles so we are not talking days out of the way here). It's perfectly reasonable that the author was saying that they went from X to Y and then to Z. They may have even spent a day or two in location Y but it's not recorded what they did.
It's a bad argument, to say that because of this, that the author doesn't know the area, and therefore it's false; appealing to authority doesn't help this.
