How could I?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sleep is certainly a possibility, but I can’t rule out other causes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can see several explanations. I would hesitate to even list them here, let alone pick one and announce it as the cause.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of the possible causes discredit the victims, and they can’t defend themselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I believe it would not be fair to them to accuse them without proof.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span> </span></span></p>
