The proof of a Fact which is related to a Person or Relationship is totally dependant upon the proof that the Persona(s) are proven to be the same Person(s). If any evidence (maybe discovered at a future date) disproves that Persona ABC relates to Person XYZ then all concluded facts which are based on this assumption are null and void. How can this be ascertained given that there is no connection between the Attribution in the Fact and that of the Person?
