I think you misunderstood me.
I don't mean that you can't find an answer, I mean that you can't say anything meaningful with just facts/evidence, because you can't bind them together without speculation. Concluding that something is "probable", "likely", "unlikely", and so on is fine, but you can't do that without speculations.
Your example doesn't work and is an example of the speculation I am talking about. You can't say that it is unlikely or likely or anything if you stick to the evidence or lack of evidences. That is why I said these rules turns everything into a (permanent) mystery. There is nothing to discuss. Only a bunch of possibly reliable facts, such as a dead firefighter. But he doesn't imply anything without speculation about the whole situation. You just expressed an opinion, which we weren't supposed to do here, I think.
