I still disagree with the consensus that's developing that Sammi and Mantan are necessarily the same person. I've never seen an actual sock IDed that had that range of overlap and yet was consistently able to keep other edit patterns outside the overlap range separate.
And I've never seen two separate editors who edit during the same time of day not once edit simultaneously over a year and other 1400 edits each. The depth of evidence is really quite good.
Look, it doesn't even matter what the identity is. What's outrageous is how inquiries into these account's behavior has been suppressed by users who suspected a COI all along. If you suspected it, you should have encouraged an investigation just to make sure everything was above board. Instead, users like Moven continue to Wikilawyer against it. This is outrageous.
