Again ... I'm saying that the current evidence (media outlet reporting is part of this) overwhelmingly supports the band's story. Things could change if Lindsey does offer up his version of the story.
Evidence for:
Dozens of media outlet reports
Band's story
No denial from Lindsey's camp
Rolling stone senior writer report
Evidence against:
The gut feeling of folks on this forum

Evidence for, evaluated:
Dozens of media outlet reports - intellectually dishonest to emphasize number of media reports; either you are choosing to continue to put forward the fallacious argument that the number of reports which present the band's story lends it additional credence, or you are not a very good communications teacher. It's the same as below.
Band's story - I have no problem with you believing this, actually. I don't find it realistic, but you do. Fine. I only have a problem with how agitated you are that other people DON'T buy it.
No [official] denial from Lindsey's camp - Again, I can see why you would cling to this.
Rolling stone senior writer report - this one is just the same as the "band's story" and the "media outlets." There was no new information. It's intellectually dishonest to try to make your reasons look more numerous by reframing them.
So, to sum up:
Evidence for: The band's story, which Lindsey has not directly contradicted with his own story.
Evidence against: the holes in logic, the video of Lindsey after MusiCares, the implication of Lindsey's quasi-statement, the implications of Kristen Buckingham's pointed social media posts, the social media posts by Rick Turner and Frederico Pol. (Someone let me know if I missed anything.)
It's as simple as who you believe, and which makes more sense to you. Take your pick.
