Irrelevant. Even if every DNA test had been correct, that says nothing about future DNA tests. We can only assume that DNA tests are reliable.

As a more extreme example, it is impossible to prove that "1+1=2" is correct. We have only the evidence that that has been the case so far. We are not certain. If tomorrow, someone demonstrated that you could take 1 apple, and add it to another apple, and get three apples, we would have to throw out mathematics.

Because we cannot be certain about math either.

Even theories with evidence use logic. And logic cannot be proven correct. Uncertainty is inevitable.

Ah, so Rokkenjima had 900 tons of explosives, despite being understaffed.

I retract all previous statements, this one fact proves that Ryukishi is a terrible author.
