Strange logic or comprehension problem. How did the author go from "does not work in all cases" to does not work at all? Is he really ready to stake his reputation on the claim that an IP address can NEVER lead to an individual's home address?

"(NOTE: this does not work in all cases but even a general location is a piece in the puzzle when tracking a troll.) The late addition of this note to ‘Tracking a troll’ only confirms what has just been explained in this article – that an IP address does not enable you to identify an individual’s home address. An author whose article was specifically referenced by Traynor as ’proof’ of his home address claim, has had to admit that the method given in his article does not actually allow you to identify someone’s home address"
