Too much speculation and personal opinion

Location doesn't matter, if anything it just reinforces my point. Doesn't matter where their opinion comes from, it still counts and that should be recognised.
And yes it is strawpicking because I don't have to conclusively show that they're mortals for my original reasoning to be valid. Simply in showing that the state of things appears to be invalid is sufficient to remove it. If it remains inconclusive then it can't go back on the page the way it was before. On that matter, if only a few people claim it when no one else does then it's innately dubious simply because accounts don't match up. It's only natural that when the vast majority claims one thing and then a very select few claim something different with no apparent link or basis to build off that one would be suspicious of the few unless those few had something solid to back them up. Meven might be a head clergyman but that has no real bearing on this because it doesn't necessitate knowledge of all things to do with religion. He's no more or less a reliable source than any other in the game.
