Yes. And it gets murkier when you have no framework for understanding
the infrastructure. You might know JFK lived in the Whitehouse but if
you think this was built primarily for grain storage or as an amusement
park then it makes it more difficult to put anything in its proper con-
text.

It seems that when information is highly fragmentary that you'd do well
to start with the physical evidence and proceed from there. Otherwise
you might end up believing that the adkin's diet was a sacrament based
on animal sacrifice and the interstates were routes for driving the cat-
tle to slaughter.
