To EB, conclusions are to be drawn from evidence. We don't make a conclusion and then retroactively search for evidence to support it. For us, there is no definitive answer to questions of ancient history, only evidence that supports various arguments. Sometimes, the experts who have gathered the evidence are busy, not available, or have sadly gone inactive, but we still arrived at our conclusion this way originally.

The above response is appreciated, but may be missing the point; I merely mean to say that anyone is welcome to present evidence that supports a conclusion different from one which we have made. However, it should be done just so; as evidence, not as a presentation of truth.

The point was to set expectations and hopefully adjust attitudes, not to rally anyone to a cause. Of course people have a "right" to present their arguments however they wish. If, however, the goal is to help the mod, that way will be completely counter-productive to the goal.
