Statement

It wasn't me, I was on holiday. I can't speak for the other library admins and validators though. I knew nothing about it. In fact this is the first I've heard about it and I'd like to deny all knowledge of any events that may have occurred.

Huh

Everyone knows that I go to bed early so couldn't possibly have been here when IT happened...

Sure! You and Rupert Murdoch. Your official summons will arrive shortly. You can publicly explain it all to the committee.

Who said it happened when you were in bed though?

Well I think it was probably flops... In fact, the more I think about it the more I know it must have been

*passes the buck and runs*

I know who I would blame! Best confess all and If there is a committee I shall vote myself on it as I am completely impartial! In fact really I should be the chairman. We will no doubt soon get to the bottom of it! It maybe be painful for one (or two) librarians but we will have the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!

Maybe I've been held too long in the cupboard but shouldn't it be 'better confess all'?

How long have you been in the cupboard? Was it Her Pinkness or Flopsy that locked you in there? The committee are ready to hear your testimony Mr Cheery!

It wasn't me either, absolutely not. And I have an alibi too - I was in the dentists chair refusing to open my mouth

My question is "HOW" can anyone deny anything when in fact you must know something in order to deny anything, therefore anyone who flatly denies it and says they know nothing is clearly guilty of knowing something, therefore their denial is denied and everyone who has denied it had now got to deny they knew enough about it to deny it.

And that is crystal clear to me.
