I suppose this is just an area where agreeing to disagree is the way to go. I am admittedly not well versed on DNA testing, but I have never seen any proof that DNA testing can tell us our exact lineage. Not only did OT folks not have the capability, neither do we. It requires paperwork to prove the specifics.

I would have to agree as technically this could only be true. The literal doesn’t end, but you would need visible proof.
