The burden of trying to prove something falls on the person trying to prove it. I am trying to cast doubt on the argument of needing to have a cross to form a spirit weapon in regard to Ichigo.

The two pieces of evidence you provided does not prove that a cross is needed. The syllogistic reasoning you accused me of is the same reasoning you are using. From everything I have been reading it seems that the cross is merely a focal point for the quincy to gather the reishi from the environment and focus to. Similar to how the shinigami use a zanpakuto to focus their energy on. So you are right, it appears the quincy would need it. I would still say that Ichigo is unique in possibly not needing one.
