If I tell you an alien living three million years ago threw either a red or a blue ball into the black hole at the center of the galaxy but destroyed all evidence as to which, is there a fact of the matter as to which color ball it was?
If we later find out that the alien did in fact leave some evidence, and recover that evidence, we’ll have an opinion about the color of the ball.
This seems to be avoiding Yvain’s question by answering a preferred one.
The position expressed so far, combined with the avoidance here would seem to give the answer ‘No’.
