Agreed.
Really is boring trying to *prove* something that actually happened
10-20 years ago, when it wasn't on the headlines of every major paper,
the headlines of every major technical publication. When it's a page
12 story, guys like DFS say "It never happened".
It's like Neo-Nazis who insist the holocaust never happened because
there were no headlines of it in the newspapers of Nazi German
publications.
