I’m a bit astonished at those who are nitpicking this plain statement of the IO, that no one would corroborate STB’s accounts. I am presuming that, once STB was identified as the author, that every member of his unit was interviewed, under oath, as to whether the accounts were accurate. (I guess that exact question should have been put the Major.)

Its often said that you can’t prove a negative. While that may be true, its only common sense that, absent any positive evidence for the accuracy and an unbroken string of denials, the negative proposition would be proven to most peoples satisfaction.
