What, you can't provide a simple example of when truth was ever discovered from complete unknowns? "Provenance" dictates everything, right from the very start, and since you fellas are attempting to find truth in the Beale narration's grand adventure details then you must first have provenance that said events actually ever took place, provenance which to this very day is still nonexistent at every level. For all you know you are grabbing hold of a complete work of fiction and two completely random sets of numbers and then trying to turn that fiction and those random numbers into a reality, yet in doing so all you are really doing is justifying the conclusion that the narration itself holds little if any truth at all each time you "make adjustments" in those original source materials.
Now if you actually had some provenance prior to your investigations that certain aspects of the grand adventure were true then you would no longer being trying to discover truth in complete unknowns as you would have some verified knowns/facts to begin your work from. But this just isn't the case regarding the Beale narration. You guys are trying to ride the horse before you ever posses it, building stables for your winged Unicorn before you have proven/established that said creature exit. "You have no knowns to work with. None." All you have is one cipher, one proposed key, and one clear text that couldn't have possibly arrived from the presented cipher or key in the manner in which the author outlined. You have two remaining ciphers where length has absolutely no relevance in determining which is a list of names and residences and which provides a location, this again turning the author's claim of the opposite into yet another lie. And I could go on and on, as there is no possible way in which the author could know that there was still a missing paper as there could just as easily be two or three, or none at all. So in fact, what little knowns you do have to work with are all established inaccuracies and intentional deceptions. So what knowns are you from, exactly?
Truth is, the only knowns you do possess lies in the knowledge that there is an alleged treasure involved and that alone is the true drawing card from which all else gets manufactured from all of the complete unknowns. So when you say that this stuff isn't relevant to the topic of this thread you are wrong, way wrong, as one cannot even proceed to discover truth within the codes without first establishing provenance that said truth truly exist at all. Failing to do this first only provides obvious flaw and illusion to everything else.
