IIRC learning tables was achieved by constant repetition of said tables. What has that got to do with 10 people trying to recall what they did at a specific time? All stuff which at the time of doing them they had no idea they had any need to remember them in any detail. Can you remember without checking - exactly how many posts you've posted in the last couple of days, who you were responding to and exactly what time you posted them?
I could do better than that: If my neighbour ran banging my door telling me her daughter had been abducted - I would phone the police immediately and I would be able to tell the police everything I did that day-who I spoke to- what I had for dinner- what time I got up...ALL of that and then some, and it wasn't even my daughter!
The fives times table never changed - unlike the timeline... That was the point you missed! whoosh way over the head! lol
The Judiciary at that time needed clarification why can't you accept, that there are still to this day, discrepancies- now they may be innocent and easily explained discrepancies- but why try and make out it was about entrapment? and the McCanns should have been placed on a pedestal. You really do not have a valid argument or produce a reasonable excuse for Maddies parents behavior.
And maybe they 'knew' their chosen timeline would not stand up to scrutiny and that is why they felt it would be a 'trap'.
Anyway, we will never know. They didn't go!
