The Scientific American, in its Jan. 25, 1908 edition, credits the Wright Brothers, A. M. Herring and Gustave Whitehead as producing the first successful heavier-than-air flying machines despite the fact that only claims made by the three inventors existed that time and no credible witness, beyond any doubt.
What about the eleven witnesses that responded to the author(s) of Scientific American's article dated April 7, 1906?

Oh yeah, you've dismissed them. In your view, they're not "credible" because some of them reportedly talked about "pushing" which was clearly "impossible."

At this point, you're not having a reasonable conversation, just a diatribe. Y'all carry on. Have fun.
