Footnote #: 271
Refers to Dialogue: “Have you ever met John R. Brinkley?”
Time: 00:55:56
Truth Value:

Yes, Fishbein said they’d never met (his real quote is actually better: “In 26 years of investigating charlatans, I have never met one personally”).

However, sources differ on whether or not Brinkley and Fishbein had ever met, or whether whatever happened on the Normandie (see note 241) counts as “meeting” one another.
