But see, that's the wrong approach.
Jack White et al. will keep you spinning with this or that ad hoc revision for as long as you're willing to play the game. Yes, I agree that there is considerable satisfaction in deluging White with dozens of couterexamples to his claims. But as you've seen, he'll simply dismiss them and pose his next challenge, always avoiding his own burden of proof.
My photos, that Jack White and John Costella said were "impossible," have been published for years. White's only method of addressing them was an unsubstantiated affirmative rebuttal, that they were "faked." That doesn't create much of an obligation to continue acquiescing to his demands. And as long as he controls the debate in that fashion, he will appear to prevail (or at least appear not to fail).
When people like Jack White ask for evidence, you can be sure that evidence is actually the last thing they want.
