I agree with you.The folks proposing some kind of tie-in are using a very slender reed to base their ideas. They over-look the actual evidence presented daily within the stations themselves. They over-look Squire Vickers works through-out the subways. They over-look the several documentaries - that I've already listed - about his work. They over-look the documentation of the existing art-work within the subways. All they can point to is a couple of articles on a Civil War History website, and then declare the opposing evidence to be "skippy." Then they move the "goal posts of logic" by demanding reams of "other information" because there is "NO EVIDENCE" directly supports the idea that the original subway tiles of the 1917 Times Square station is related to Ochs or the Confederacy. When they are asked to provide any evidence for their contentions - they just repeat the Civil War website articles - as if that ends all discussion. Absence of evidence is not the same as pretending something is true. Mike |
