> My prima facie view on Altman has been that he presents as sincere.

That is how pathological liars present.

What kind of situation would I choose to use the word presents in that context without being aware of that fact?

I am also aware that sincere people present that way.

I don't believe there is any rational way to consider the appearance of innocence as evidence of guilt.

There is a ton of evidence out there that points to guilt. No one implied the appearance of innocence was evidence of guilt (as much as I admire the creativity in your interpretation, Mr. Self-Described Altman Apologist).

Making a selective quote the way you did with the response you provided made my interpretation reasonable.

What other point could you have been making? You made no reference to any other evidence.

I am unsure if this is deliberate irony, or poor comprehension.

Use the multitude of search tools within your grasp. It is difficult to avoid the evidence.

It may be more of a mental block than anything else.
