“May” and “could have” aren’t meaningful, and the quotes ends with additional ambiguity.
- nkrisc 2y agoI don’t see the problem. They’re making a claim and have some evidence. That of course doesn’t mean they’re actually correct, but that’s their claim.
- anigbrowl 2y agoYou're interpreting 'could have' as a possibility when it can also be interpreted as a statement of capability. - Evidence X, Y, Z points to a European origin for these discoveries. - How could Europeans have got to North Africa so long ago? - They could have done it by island hopping.
