you said all the above not i. no mention of cons or anything else. just some documented facts. bell flew the first flight 9 days before the wright brothers were accredited with it. and history is defined by the historians of the time....to say they;re always right ...now that would a be a conspiracey.....it's very easy to take something to extremes and make what another said look silly isn't it lol.....it means jack shit of course but it's easy to do. and to say nothing invented was ever original...mmmm nice concept but lacking in truth or fact. and where does who get the credit evaluate into who invented something...they either invented it or they didn't, saying they did doesn't make it so, but of course you're an officianado on inventions, or is that just a conspiracey theory as well. you can beileve the wright brothers invented the plane....and i can believe they didn't........the facts i think lay with the dates of the first recorded flight. ....that a persons 500 year old design when built in the 20th century worked is also a conspiracey theory i guess. it never really happened never really got filmed happening...it's all an illusion. if you think it about political correctness thats okay too. personally i think it's about truth and facts not about who was or wasnt there or who did or didn't enter a compitition or because a leading news paper says something to further its circulation. jmo opinion of course lol

somehow i doubt even i could stretch your last paragraph to fit said scenario. though you did a pretty good attempt.....poorly :P
