Oops I thought you were responding to me; lost track of the indents.
However Admnaismith is not proving a positive that *invalidates* the negative, I don't think.
I follow you so far:
Negative: "Virgil Timson did not murder his wife."
Positive: "Virgil Timson's wife is alive."
But the positive doesn't *invalidate* the negative--it *proves* it. At least if I'm following what's going on.
