   Unfortunately, as I've tried fruitlessly explaining to Ant before, that's not   
   how the burden of proof works. If you want your readers to be convinced of   
   your story, then the onus is on *you* to prove as much of it as possible.   
   Right now, I'm unconvinced.    
   Surely if you were that close to the band you'd have plenty of other evidence   
   apart from a claim to two seconds of footage from a tour video?

   In my professional opinion, those two faces are not the same. Again, I only   
   draw faces for a living, so you can take that with however many grains of salt   
   you wish. Sure, I could be wrong somehow, I suppose, but I don't buy it. And   
   again, even if I did,    
   I still wouldn't be very captivated by the idea.   
      
   Which, of course, begs the question of why I'm putting even this much effort   
   into arguing against it. Depending on your point of view, I either enjoy   
   arguing and have way too much time on my hands, or I'm a Carl Palmer shill...
