It seems to me that komponisto's The Amanda Knox Test similarly made a case for "not guilty" without reference to the all of the arguments for "guilty", and had other substantial flaws. But it's at 29, compared to Rolf's -10.
As someone who has no interest in the case (I haven't made any comment related to the case, nor read any of the discussions), judging from just the posts, I think Rolf's main mistake is that he forgot that one needs to be much more careful when arguing against a majority belief.
This appears to be the common denominator regarding people who think that Rolf has brought up game-changing information in his post.
I don't think that he did. In fact, I can infer, without having read the discussions, that the information in Rolf's posts are likely contained in the discussions. So the only thing I think he did was to put them in a top-level post without making a sufficiently convincing case for his position.
Exactly. Therefore, it was voted down. Is this not working as intended?
