That is not what I wrote. Please don't twist my words
I asked how he knows, and wondered if he was actually there - not "if you weren't you can't possibly know".
As for historical material - fair point, but we all know that not everything was always photographed etc.
Now, I'm not positively claiming it's this or that way, rather questioning the certainty with which some people claim it could not possibly have been dirty.
