Wichat said:In order we no have proof of anything if you expose that A is an option I answer you that B or C are possible too. The fact you're convivenced that your own interpretation is good doesn't mean is THE good one.
«inconsistent evidence» - inconsistent with what and in what way?
Yes, here we go again... No proof that she practices cannibalisme or loot, only voiced acusation. And no proof in any senses but all our interpretations because CDPR describe an act of Geralt (he goes, he dismount, he don't wield his sword, he push men, he defend himself from their reponse and he leave behind him an open end to your imagination), no the conflict between both sides. All the rest are words, testimonies which we don't know if they are lies or not. Giving them one or another meaning is all up the watcher: me or you. Just what CDPR want us to do: ask ourself WHY?
Witchat,
There is a fundamental epistemological problem is the way you persist to approach this:
The burden of proof lies with those making positive claims.
When I make a positive claim such as the soldiers are defectors, I'm under the obligation to forward evidence to support the claim and it's not the case others are under the rhetorical obligation to disprove it.
Do you understand and agree with this basic principle?

One point that I haven't seen discussed is this:
The accusation seems to be read, i. e., the commander's intonation suggests he's reciting, perhaps reading from an official document. In either case it seems overly contrived to stage a conviction to the degree of either forging an official document or reciting a non existing accusation just for the sake of some sadistic role playing.
