See, that right there is your problem. If someone comes up with a legitimate criticism of your work, you shouldn't have to be
forced to admit it, begrudgingly or not. If you seriously believe these photos have been manipulated, you should want your evidence to be as strong as possible - and eliminating those parts of your presentation which have been shown to be based on errors or misunderstandings can only strengthen your presentation. Anything that's left over after a rigorous examination of your presentation just might be
actual evidence that the photos have been manipulated.
That's assuming, of course, there's anything left after all the errors have been fixed. That you have to be "forced" to "begrudgingly" admit
any errors, no matter how trivial, suggests that, deep down inside, you know there won't be anything left, and so you refuse to recognize legitimate criticisms out of a desire to maintain your belief in the face of reality. If you were honestly interested in getting to the truth, you would act very differently.
Perhaps you should sit down and think about this for a bit, and decide if you really want to be
that guy.
