Since he is a qualified expert on forensics making essentially the same claim that I was about the state of forensic evidence, I’m curious to know what you would consider to be adequate corroboration for that point.
I’m not sure it’s the same claim. As I recall, your claim was limited to traces of Knox and Sollecito on or about Kercher’s person. Moore’s point is more general.
But anyway, what I had in mind was a statement which is not specific to the case. For example, a quote from a forensics textbook or a police manual.
Yes, Moore’s point is more general than mine, he points to additional evidence that it had not occurred to me that we would expect. Moore’s point is stronger than mine.
I do not have a forensics textbook or police manual, but Moore probably does. If I ask him for a citation, and he provides one, would you consider that adequate?

Moore’s point is stronger if his assumptions are correct.

If it says more or less, and in general terms, that even physically restraining another person will almost always leave biological traces which can be traced back to the person who did the grabbing or holding.
And by the way, if you really plan to research this, what would also be helpful to me would be a cite for the proposition that the Italian forensics labs may have (or did) find additional material attributable to Guede which did not make it into the record.
