That looks to me a lot like the kind of thing y'all accuse Gerry of  
doing - saying that something which is actually there when it needn't  
needn't a special explanation. Something tells me that if your  
confidence were absolute, you'd try to find a cool way in which the  
cap actually strenghtened your case (for all I know, it may even  
exist; in this whole episode I'm with those who think something  
special happens, and a purposeless ghost doesn't cut it, unless the  
whole thing is one of those tropes and we haven't identified the  
source).
