Krakauer's arguments on this subject are based on conjecture and ignore facts. He conjectures that McCandless misidentified a plant he had been identifying for an extended time, for another plant. Unlikely. He makes claims without providing supporting evidence. Sorry, but saying "there is evidence that..." is not evidence. He states that eating this plant poisoned him to death, despite the fact that he died almost 3 weeks later. The autopsy ruled the death as starvation. The natural conclusion of extreme, extended calorie deficiency is starvation.
