Richard Monkey is correct. Precedent is a concept that is used in law and also common sense. If a country has no "precedent" of a single verified case and a history of age inflation (Iran had claims to as high as 169 in the past few decades), then the track record (very poor) of that region is indicative that there might be a problem with cases from there. Add in the calendar conversion issue and the "day 1" issue, and there is quite a bit to be suspect about a claim from a region with a history of age inflation.Ryoung122 (talk) 16:18, August 5, 2017 (UTC)
