   Still rambling on about something totally irrelevant? Manganga’s name is spelled wrong on your forgery and he wasn’t the Administrator when you supposedly went there. It’s obvious you didn’t bother to do your research before you created the forgery and tried to pawn it off on ebay

   Although you have claimed to have gotten the “Kenyan birth certificate” in Mombasa, Kenya, you have never shown that you even went to Kenya. You have claimed on other sites that you have “African” stamps in your passport, but you have not even shown them. And, why not Kenyan entry and exit stamps? Why should anyone believe the word of a convicted felon who claims to have gotten a “Kenyan birth certificate” if he cannot even show that he went to Kenya?

   “Why should anyone believe the word of a convicted felon who claims to have gotten a “Kenyan birth certificate” if he cannot even show that he went to Kenya?”

   Exactly!

   Not to mention that the date formats on the Office of Communications website calendar could be attributed to a problem with the input interface that was subsequently corrected in 2009.

   Lucas,

   My dictionary says:

   definitive |diˈfinitiv|
   adjective
   1 (of a conclusion or agreement) done or reached decisively and with authority : a definitive diagnosis.
   • (of a book or other text) the most authoritative of its kind : the definitive biography of Harry Truman.
   2 (of a postage stamp) for general use and typically of standard design, not special or commemorative.
   noun
   a definitive postage stamp.
   DERIVATIVES
   definitively adverb
   ORIGIN late Middle English : from Old French definitif, -ive, from Latin definitivus, from definit- ‘set within limits,’ from the verb definire (see define ).
   USAGE Definitive in the sense ‘decisive, unconditional, final’ is sometimes confused with definite. Definite means ‘clearly defined, precise, having fixed limits,’ but definitive goes further, meaning ‘most complete, satisfying all criteria, most authoritative’: : although some critics found a few definite weak spots in the author’s interpretations, his book was nonetheless widely regarded as the definitive history of the war. A definite decision is simply one that has been made clearly and is without doubt, whereas a definitive decision is one that is not only conclusive but also carries the stamp of authority or is a benchmark for the future, as in a Supreme Court ruling. It is a common error to use definitive as though it were a more elegant way of saying definite.

   and

   categorical |ˌkatəˈgôrikəl|
   adjective
   unambiguously explicit and direct : a categorical assurance.
   DERIVATIVES
   categoric adjective
   categorically |-ik(ə)lē| adverb
   ORIGIN late 16th cent.: from late Latin categoricus (from Greek katēgorikos, from katēgoria ‘statement’ : see category ) + -al .

   You’ve reached your conclusion (that Kenya uses multiple date formats) based on a single website with mixed formats. Neither “definitive” (nor “definite” which was most likely what you meant) nor “categorical” are appropriate terms to describe your logical leap. I think that the terms “weakly supported” and “likely fallacious” are much more suited to the straw-man argument you made.
