i think associating people is fine but extending it to if one is innocent the othe ris or vice versa is dangerous.
I think as long as you take it as "probably" and don't make anything "certain" then it is OK. Have to be flexible and willing to realize when you're wrong- but it's fair to link people and say- if such a person is guilty- then X might be too. It's when you get stuck in one mindset and stop being flexible you're in trouble.
Nothing wrong with doing a complete U-turn when you realise the theory you thought was correct turns out to be wrong.
I think valley has to be suspected for the move but the question must be do WE as town let this take us to a place where the whole day vanishes in a cloud of everyone piling on valley and we lose the tie up....
I don't know the answer to that.
No! We don't pile up on Valley! There is equal chance that IBWT is the guilty one.
he's escaping again.
