This is where I part company with the consensus forming above. Not convinced. The evidence being cited is consistent with the conclusion and also consistent with two other conclusions nobody has ruled out.

Right, and the exception is worth naming rather than left implied, because the exception is where people get into trouble.

That is the short version; the long version is somebody else's post.
