bboy_mn:
Well, as I stated in my post, my philosophy in solving seeming
inconsistencies is to assume that the event is true, then search for a
likely solution. One must be careful not to be diverted by what is
possible, and concentrate on what is most likely.

I would say, what you suggest is VERY LIKELY. Good thinking.
