I think I took it as read that Conor was saying his voucher provides useful (and positive) evidence because that seemed the only way to make sense of his saying what he said in response to what he said it to. I mean, you can’t tell whether CoolShirtMcPants had considered whether Conor’s testimony was evidence from what he wrote; all you can tell is that apparently he didn’t think it was.
In any case, I’m now definitely confused about who has at what times thought Conor meant what by what. What I remain confident of is that Conor did not so clearly not say that we should take his endorsement as evidence as to make it unreasonable to say he did; and I think your comments above should give Conor good reason to reconsider his characterization of what you said before as “uncharitable” (given that strictly only people, not words, can be uncharitable, and that it’s hard to see why someone uncharitably disposed would write what you did above).
And I think there are too many levels of he-said-she-said going on here...
