Thanks for correcting the representation of what you actually wrote. "May" and "might" are slippery words; "He may have accidentallly discharged his gun" leaves wrote for somebody else discharging it, for him having done it on purpose, and some other possibilities.
"Is" and "do" and other certain words are less slippery. But whenever there is room for doubt, they somehow don't apply.
