sanjuro Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 And how pray tell can one be absolutely 100% sure a signature is gimei in a case like this. It is only opinion afterall and opinion is not necessrily fact regardless of whose opinion it may be. The opinion that a signature is spurious needs to be certain, and that is an impossibility when there is no historical proof. May not if the signature is real despite opinion, the sword be greatly lessened if the signature is removed? Quote
