Hmm, all this is hardly an answer and you know it. Are you turning into a kind political fundamentalist, replying according to "allegiance" rather than according to reason? Assuming I have that "allegiance", because I've been very critical of Valentino's own conspiracy theory. I understand Rossi's campaign against Lorenzo has made you sour, but why give up common sense because of that.
I didn't read the whole thread, but again: the very simple facts (some of them debatable, but that's secondary) that you listed, even if accepted in toto, can never support the mentioned conspiracy theory, which remains a completely arbitrary conclusion.
It's like saying that since you may like vanilla ice cream (fact) and the local ice cream parlour last week stopped selling vanilla (fact), then there is a conspiracy against you to prevent you from enjoying your favorite ice cream (ops... false!). It's a classic false syllogism, because the link drawn between the facts and the conclusion is arbitrary -- it's false in any language and in any logic system.
Someone called these "sylligisms". Why fall into that kind of pit.
