There are lots of logical possibilities, and my state of belief is 
that I am very uncertain about which one it might be.   You said 
before that you couldn't believe the evidence I pointed you to, 
because you had a mountain of contrary evidence, but at this point it 
looks like you just have a presumption and lack of imagination.
