Honestly I would have preferred him to study that picture ([First flight, 120 feet in 12 seconds, 10:35 a.m.; Kitty Hawk, North Carolina]) carefully and think about it instead of quickly answering, directly from his mobile phone (no urgent answer was needed), "You are wrong"
Mate! It's a conspiracy - what did you expect? He was never going to agree with you.

But I am looking closely at the photos....

Now, with that famous one - do you believe the wings are parallel to the shoreline? Is that in fact the shoreline? Wave crests? A ship on the horizon?
