Enough has been written about it.
You misrepresented what I wrote, Petitfaun, when you wrote

So, your explanation tacitly concedes that I did not change ‘a few 8x6’s’ to people. Thank you. If you drew a false equivalence between ‘anyone’ and ‘people’, as you did above, that is your error, not any change I made.
In point of fact, anyone does NOT equal people. ‘Anyone’ is singular. AnyONE. Check out http://dictiona … m/browse/anyone if you doubt this.
People, on the other hand, is plural. http://dictiona … m/browse/people .
I was trying to explore BeaverCreek’s concept , which I will cite accurately and in its totality (BeaverCreek - Mixed Reviews on PE):

I asked:

Should I ever be tempted to post pictures (whether I reach 8x6 or not), I want to know how to avoid the error of being "too conclusive and subject to suspicion" (and the error of being unconvincing as well).
And while the angels are dancing around the head of a pin about singular and plural nouns, my earlier question still stands unanswered: Why would anyone want to subject themselves to the suspicion of having been found to be too conclusive?
The larger point, which I made in this post: Lampwick - Big gainer Pictures is this:

So if you provide rock solid conclusive proof, that in itself is apparently suspicious. How can you win at that game? The way you win at that game is for you to play YOUR game, not someone else’s game. Don’t depend on photos of someone else’s 4.5" gains for inspiration or motivation. Just know that gains are possible (but you already know that), and keep your ears open for techniques that can help you safely gain more. And if you never gain another inch, you’ve already gained an inch more than you had. As the television ad for the credit card says, "Priceless."
And THAT is to the point of the thread originator, Dave22, who wrote:

Photos can be faked. Measurements can be inaccurate or misrepresented. There is tons of anecdotal evidence here that PE works, and the point has been made before that a tremendous amount of time and energy has been invested in the subject here, with no one having to pay a dime for it.
So, there might just be something to PE, Dave22. You may get the reassurance from reading all the experiences from members here. But ultimately, you will have the concrete evidence you desire when you do it and it works for you.
