> Ashley Madison does not validate all email addresses

There you go. Everybody gets a perfect excuse for their email showing up in that database.

With a bit of investigation it's easy to find out the lat/long and signup ip address associated with an email account. Most of the time this should make it clear if the person in question really did it or not.

In 99% of real world situations, the girlfriend or wife will either believe you or not. Once any experts are hired, the relationship is already over, no matter what the investigation concludes.

I'm not talking about hiring experts here, I'm talking about reading a text file.

But ya, while I might not go as high as 99% I generally agree with what you're saying.
