I can understand why you would accept all the pat explanations, and believe
all the TV documentaries.  They all have to look at history through the eye
of available documentation.

Haven spoken at great length with Scott's spectre, however, I have some
unique insight on the subject.  The weather was a factor in their deaths,
but it wasn't what killed them.
