Brothergib again:
Thank you to Carol and Amiable Dorsai for putting me straight. Very
frustrating, since I have read all these transcripts before, but had
just forgotten about them. I guess that leaves us with the question
of whether LV has the full complement of Horcruxes or not. I have
already given several reasons why I think LV is still 1 short, but 1
additional bit of potential evidence is that DD is unsure about the
final 2 Horcruxes. This is one of the few occasions where DD has
absolutely no proof as to what the final Horcruxes are. He is
guessing. I don't think we would think too badly of him if this guess
turns out to be incorrect.
