This was a comment from "BerlinWallCrosser", and I thought it was something worthwhile we should dig on. First I'd heard of it!!
Posting now because I'm headed out for the day and wanted to get some eyes on this. If true, this is MASSIVE. Berlin said we could verify the number of states - so perhaps y'all would like to pick this ball up and run with it? ;)
I use wiki often first to get an overview of the "official" narrative, often I find already there clues which lead me further (and I really like the blue linked words and names which lead me to a overall picture/pattern).
Yes, you are totally right, and it was not meant as an end result, but a first step.
