First, we're talking about a dozen of these con men and not one of them cracked. How likely is that? Second, Paul would not have been converted by the mere stories of con men when he was already putting believers into jail and had seen the stoning of Stephen, the first con man to die for his faith.
Serious question: do you really think that your fan-fiction about people who, even if they were real entities, you've never met and have no basis for ascertaining the likelihood of their actions, should be considered seriously?
Why do you think "I imagine these people I never met would have acted in this way," is any kind of real rebuttal?
Esq-
You're missing the big picture. Really.
Nestor granted minimal facts 1-3. Jenny granted Paul's conversion. I've gotten a PM or two from folks who do not want to be outed.
This is not blitz chess. We're playing slow time controls, and it could take years. I might not even be around to see the end of the game.
