Granted, the statement is slightly different to the article headline, wherein the FBI just states that it hasn't found a link, not that there is no link. Clearly, however, they saw a potential for a link (which you just denounced as unprofessional). |

And, seeing as there may have already been an arrest, they clearly had suspects. I'd appreciate it if you didn't twist my words or put words in my mouth, since you yourself complain of people doing it to you so often. |

There is no such thing as "too strong a coincidence" without the sufficient evidence. That's why the concepts of "possibility" and "beyond reasonable doubt" exist in the first place. Even a lead or hunch do not "clearly point to some connection" outside of fiction.
Frankly, you really should read what you wrote. You're only backtracking on your original statement. |

But, apparently you'd rather see these multitude of events, one of which has to be done in advance due to the way the mail system works, and just shrug your shoulders and say "Well, they can't possibly be connected. After all, we haven't found any evidence to support that yet." Quote:
