Sorry I did not see this post while working on the other. But I still don't understand why the message is dependent on the messenger. Perhaps it's possible to split up the thread or shall I start a new one on solar cycles.
I moved the post to your existing solar cycle thread, which is where it belongs.

If you can't trust the messenger you can't trust his copy of the message.
The message may still be true, but he can't be counted in the "for" column.

Similarly, you can't prove the messenger trustworthy by showing his message to be true, if you only look at his message you can only prove him untrustworthy by showing his message to be false).
