Very aware of all the papering of problems in the past 50 years (beginning in earnest with Trick-Dick who obliterated the gold standard forever), yep.
Now that's a fun conspiracy theory, but also very hard to hide a giant ship everyone recognizes and has been worked-over a zillion times in the depths. Old Irishmen vs. a bunch of "Divey" types? Hmmm.... We give our FUN vote to the Old Irishman.
Well there were 3 ships built by the white star line, all were made at the same port in Belfast Ireland, and all at aside each other. (The Irishman was very drunk, and a great story teller) I enjoyed his company very much.

I had occasion to read rather extensively about the Olympic-Titanic switch a while back--why not, it's incredibly intriguing--and, feeling my old debate coach watching me in the dark, I also researched the debunk/rebuttal of the switch. I go with the switch. Here is a fine article on it: https://social.shorthand.com/TitanicMystery/jCPyIbzzPVc/did-the-titanic-really-sink-or-was-it-olympic FYI, the essence of the rebuttal was that, well, the White Star Line was risking its reputation to collect insurance money, etc. HAHAHAHAHHA. Because that's never happened. Rebutal here: http://www.williammurdoch.net/articles_34_Titanic_switch_theory_04.html Y'all can decide, but for me this kind of comes under the category of it was such a big switch, I believe it. I.E., the masses will fall sooner for a great lie than a small lie, and all that. Love Deliberator's writing!
