It’s conceivable the way it’s conceivable that the English upper class are giant lizards in disguise. If you’ve read much 19c history and sources, you should know that nobody said anything about anybody masturbating or not, and Lincoln at that time probably lived a mile from his nearest neighbour.
Lincoln is an interesting example because if you read enough biographies of him, it becomes funny just how much mileage people can get out of the most trivial and dubious piece of evidence about his early life.
Anyway, the past is full of things that either happened or didn’t—at least I don’t believe they’re like Schrodinger’s cat, but which we’ll never know if they did or not.

Yup. That’s generally considered a form of conceivable, at least around here.
(You might want to try lurking around, reading sequences and interesting comments, at least until you absorb the local jargon, assumptions, and so on. Learning from experience probably works, but it has a high cost in karma, or even regular reputation if you’re lucky.)
Yeah. Karma is good. I’ve never put a bumper sticker on my car but if I did it would probably say either
My Karma Ran Over My Dogma
or
Question Bumper-sticker Slogans
I have a mental block for reading the instruction manual, and a strong prejudice towards experimentalism, so while over time I’m sure to soak up a lot of the threads, you’ll probably see me going on my bumptious way.
P.S. As an online book dealer, I’ve spent most of the last 11 years working alone and losing my social skills. While I’m sure to make mistakes, it’s exhilarating to be talking on a forum where the responses are above the level of “poopy-head”.
