      that’s a giant red flag that they’re lying about being from the country

      A giant red flag that was wrong. Again, nice try.

        Red flags are warnings that you should look into further, which I did. They’re not absolute predictors, but signs to probe. I stand by my question.

        You asked someone else in this thread to produce a type of document that has never existed for anything (a government agreement that a word means a certain thing), then when they couldn’t, explained that an argument made without evidence is meaningless. How is due diligence about the claims people make a surprise to you?

          I asked for that document because I suspected it does NOT exist. In a series of trying to prove me wrong, you have only continued to make the wrong assumptions about me. Just stop.

            I don’t think you’re wrong and haven’t tried to do anything to prove you wrong. I asked a question, then I’ve explained why I asked it several times, because you’re the one misunderstanding. It’s obvious that you knew that document couldn’t exist. I brought it up to show that asking if the base of someone’s claim is true is in fact, normal on the internet.
