External corroboration. Since you set no limits on that possibility (such as time or resources), it is the perfect answer. I have an infinite amount of time to externally corroborate, and infinite resources to do so. Therefore, my success is guaranteed.
Then again, I'm not a conservative, and this another hostile baiting thread that will continue to ensure this forum's knack for alienating anyone who comes into contact with it.
Congratulations.
