Source passage

Source text · mention only

Shortly after this notice was put up, Doc. and I were asked if we objected to a series of “tests.” Doc., strong in his own innocence, welcomed the suggestion. As for me, it was exactly what I wanted—the _raison d’être_ of my notice. Up to now it had been “a shame to take the money.” This put us on a reasonable basis. If all were discovered, as I expected would be the case, I’d get my poshing, there would be a good laugh all round, and that would be the end of it. If by any fluke of fortune I survived, the testers would only have themselves to blame afterwards. It was now a fair fight—my wits against the rest—catch as catch can, and all grips allowed. Neither the Doc.

Lattice uses this as an alternative-explanation source, not as an automatic dismissal of testimony. Claims still need to be compared with the actual evidence and current knowledge.
