They are probably all true . Only the one who wrote the sentences knows that. Moreover, at least technically, they are all correct as well.

  • They are probably all true .
  • Only the one who wrote the sentences knows that.
  • Moreover, at least technically, they are all correct as well.
  • I would choose the first sentence, but especially when a sentence is long, both as and to be are sometimes used with consider .
  • Using as is rather controversial, though.
