I am just saying it is not 'mental' to suggest that there may be doubt in the absence of evidence. This is a fundamental principle of the 'science' that so many of you cherish so highly and that you used to denounce the notion that the substance might not be russian.
As you rightly say, in a situation such as this, one cannot have conclusive evidence - and everyone knows it. Thus, it is valid to question the motives of those who are calling for it in the knowledge it will never be forthcoming. Almost like they're trying to throw up a smokescreen.

Occam's Razor is why most sane people are concluding this is Russia's handiwork. Russian means, motives and opportunity - allied with Russia's extensive previous when it comes to murdering its dissidents at home and abroad. Throw in the complete absence of a credible counter-narrative and Vlad's your uncle.

Everything else belongs in the crazy bin.
