If I assert that there is a medieval castle on the site of modern Pittsburgh and then dig down to 8th century levels and find nothing then I have a problem with my assertion. The lack of evidence cannot be construed as somehow supporting the assertion which is the way jesus freaks try to twist Kitchen's otherwise fairly pointless pronouncement.
